Cybertesting Behaviors

Abstract

Online instruction and computerized testing has attracted a great deal of attention as college and universities increasingly move toward this mode of teaching and assessment. Many concerns have been raised regarding how to ensure these methods are valid and appealing to students and their parents. Researchers have addressed various facets of these issues; in particular, a number of studies have been published regarding how online assessment may affect student performance and test anxiety. We review the literature in this area and provide corresponding practical and ethical recommendations.
