Abstract
ABSTRACT
In recent years, the introduction of online assessments has completely revolutionized the field of medical education. In fact, online assessments offer multiple advantages to the administrators, the educators, and the students. However, considering the limited resources and being not aware of the thought process and competency level of faculty members in the medical college, it is ideal to perform a thorough need assessment. To enhance the competencies of medical teachers, we propose a hands-on workshop to enhance the knowledge and skills of faculty members in designing, developing, and administering effective online assessments in the field of medical education, along with the evaluation plan using the Kirkpatrick Model. In addition, the workshop will empower faculty members with strategies and tools for preventing cheating and ensuring the integrity of online assessments. In conclusion, online assessments have become an integral part of medical education, offering numerous benefits for both educators and students alike. We have proposed a comprehensive two half-day workshop on “Online assessments and proctoring-Secure Assessment and Facilitation of Exams,” with the help of a variety of teaching-learning methods, and multiple measures to promote their active engagement and hands-on activities. We anticipate that this program will be successful in meeting the needs of the target audience and improving their competence levels to eventually ensure that online assessments can be institutionalized.
