Abstract
This study analyzes how students’ perceptions of online examinations changed during the transition from face-to-face to fully online examinations. We surveyed students at a distance learning university at the end of two academic years during which a new online exam system was implemented. The survey asked about students' experiences and opinions about online exams and their requirements. By comparing data from the two groups of students, we found significant changes in perceptions as students gained more experience with online exams. Our results suggest that familiarity leads to a preference for online over face-to-face exams and a more positive view of online exam procedures, especially webcam proctoring and the use of a digital interface for answering questions.
