  In Roundtable Session: Student Experiences in Online Learning Environments

Abstract

This study examined student perceptions of assessment types and strategies in online learning environments in the context of higher education. Specifically, we identified the most and least effective assessment types and strategies perceived by learners. We additionally explored the modality and frequency of feedback that learners preferred to receive on online assessments. Finally, the study investigated correlations between learners' perceptions of effective online assessments and their individual characteristics.
