Creating the “Examination Kiosk”: Blended Assessment to Foster Self-Directed Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

The field of higher education is continually evolving; with it, examination strategy must also adapt. Especially self-directed learning will be a focus. We are developing an innovative solution to address the changing needs of university students and their exams. We found current challenges and new requirements for examination strategies based on extensive research analysis of relevant literature in the field and student-based feedback. The solution is in the form of an examination kiosk designed specifically for portfolio examinations. The purpose of the examination kiosk is to promote self-directed learning. It will allow for greater flexibility and individuality in the assessment process. We present the examination kiosk in detail and provide insights into its creation and potential applications.
