Abstract

Electronic testing offers many advantages over traditional paper-and-pencil testing, such as a more natural testing environment for today’s students, immediate feedback, more effortless organization and logistics, and immediate data analysis. On the other hand, there is a higher risk of students cheating on electronic tests. Electronic testing can improve the educational process, but it is essential to be aware of the potential drawbacks and take steps to mitigate them. Electronic testing of knowledge is a new trend in higher education. It is important to remember, however, that didactic tests are only one of many ways to assess students, and they should be combined with other forms of assessment to obtain a comprehensive picture of student knowledge and skills.
