The rapid pivot to the online environment, necessitated by COVID-19, has resulted in some universities adopting online meeting platforms, such as Zoom, for exam invigilation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and reflect on the student experience of exams invigilated with an online meeting platform. In 2020, twenty-four subjects with 1728 students with high stakes, final exams trialled online invigilation. In practise scenarios, online meeting settings were optimised for invigilation to ensure supportive yet rigorous exam conditions. The average exam mark for students who sat a paper-based invigilated examination in 2019 across the twenty-four subjects was 72% compared to 70% for the exams invigilated with online meetings in 2020. There was no significant difference in the distribution of exam marks and subject grades and there were no significant technical issues that impacted the exams. A student-centred approach ensured that exam supervisors could answer student concerns before and during the examinations. This study demonstrates that the use of online meeting platforms, not specifically designed for exam proctoring, can be a cost-effective and valid tool. With the higher education sector again weighing up alternatives to traditional invigilated exams into the future there is an opportunity to rethink technology-mediated assessment of student learning.

Zoom监考考试：快速采用远程考试的协议

COVID-19 需要快速转向在线环境，导致一些大学采用在线会议平台（如 Zoom）进行监考。本研究旨在评估使用在线会议平台监考的考试的有效性并反思学生的体验。2020年24个科目1728名高危学生期末考试试行网上监考。在实践场景中，在线会议设置针对监考进行了优化，以确保支持且严格的考试条件。2019 年参加 24 个科目的纸笔监考的学生的平均考试成绩为 72%，而 2020 年在线会议监考的考试成绩为 70%。考试分数和科目成绩的分布没有显着差异，也没有影响考试的重大技术问题。以学生为中心的方法确保考试主管可以在考试前和考试期间回答学生的问题。本研究表明，使用并非专为考试监考设计的在线会议平台可以成为一种经济高效且有效的工具。随着高等教育部门再次权衡未来传统监考考试的替代方案，有机会重新思考以技术为中介的学生学习评估。本研究表明，使用并非专为考试监考设计的在线会议平台可以成为一种经济高效且有效的工具。随着高等教育部门再次权衡未来传统监考考试的替代方案，有机会重新思考以技术为中介的学生学习评估。本研究表明，使用并非专为考试监考设计的在线会议平台可以成为一种经济高效且有效的工具。随着高等教育部门再次权衡未来传统监考考试的替代方案，有机会重新思考以技术为中介的学生学习评估。
