Examining the designs of computer-based assessment and its impact on student engagement, satisfaction, and pass rates

作者:

Highlights:

• Computer Based Assessment (CBA) is increasingly used in higher education.

• The study unpacks how educators on 74 undergraduate modules designed CBA.

• The analysis using fixed effect models suggests that educators implement vastly different learning designs (LD).

• Assessment activities strongly influence students' time spent on the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

• LD explains 69% of variability in students' time spent on the VLE.
