“…Similarly, in another study [21], the optimization of the time devoted to preparing an exam was analyzed in the framework of e‐learning for medical sciences, from both the students’ and lecturer's perspectives. Other studies have focused on fraud detection after it has happened [10, 12]. However, preventing fraud (instead of detecting it) appears to be a better option.…”

Exam versioning is a widely used approach to prevent cheating during exams, but it can increase the workload for lecturers in terms of exam preparation and correction. Automated exam versioning can help reduce this workload and minimize errors in correction. This article presents the EVERSYS platform, which is focused on linear circuits but can be applied to other engineering fields. An exam problem is described as a circuit schema, a set of component values, and a set of questions to be answered. The EVERSYS platform allows lecturers to easily create exam versions with high variability, including different schemas, component values, and question sets. The platform is based on the MATLAB/Octave programming language and HTML document descriptions. Creating a multiversion exam is straightforward, involving the adaptation of a set of predefined MATLAB scripts and modification of the HTML format if necessary. A set of example exams is provided as well as the complete platform source code. The platform was tested during a 2021–2022 compulsory course on linear circuits at a Spanish University. The results indicated that the platform significantly reduced the time required for exam preparation and correction, and there was no statistically significant difference in student performance across different exam versions. Students reported high levels of satisfaction with the platform, and almost all agreed that it effectively prevents cheating during exams.

“…It increases the effectiveness of skills and expertise by providing access to a wide range of information, collaboration, and connections that help learners. However, the argument over opening up e-learning resources leads to higher learning results primarily for certain forms of group assessment (Haque et al, 2021).…”

E-Learning Education systems are gaining attention day-to-day because of their inclusive pertinence in the distance education system. Due to COVID-19, the online learning education system has become very popular. Most probably, all education systems have been using the IoT-based E-Learning system to continue the students’ education without hindrance during the COVID lockdown. Several E-Learning IoT schemes are explored that reflect privacy and security, but still, there is no detailed scheme; hence, it needs a sustainable, secure E-Learning IoT system. The characteristics and prospects of the Internet of Things are discussed in this article. By analyzing the various functions and capabilities of the Internet of Things, this article aims to provide an overview of the various advantages and challenges of using the platform for e-learning. This paper proposed the E-Learning IoT architecture with Blockchain technology, with layers of different IoT and Blockchain concepts to secure the online education system. Also, the block diagram of the proposed architecture demonstrates how students can securely access or interact with the online learning system through Blockchain technology. By implementing the proposed e-learning IoT architecture, universities and colleges can improve their distance learning programs and increase efficiency without affecting their academic activities. Finally, the study found that e-learning positively impacts students' learning experience and overall quality of education. It also exhibited a significant positive impact on their flexibility and academic productivity.

“…Over the years, there have been some complexities surrounding the invigilation of tests globally, especially as online-based testing practices are gradually becoming pervasive. One perceived reason is the concern about addressing the issue of varying and evolving forms of examination malpractice (Fuentes, 2020;Haque et al, 2021;Lefoka, 2020). Malpractice, in this case, is any wrongdoing exhibited before, during or after any test or examination (Kawugana & Woyopwa, 2007;Maciver, 2017).…”

“…These poor practices are unacceptable since they tend to skew evaluation results in high stake examinations (Bassey et al, 2019;Haque et al, 2021) and contribute negatively to the quality of graduates produced in higher education institutions (Arop et al, 2018;Birkeland & Bogh, 2018;Kawugana & Woyopwa, 2017), which in turn, could hinder the economic growth of nations. Different reasons account for students' indulgence in examination malpractice.…”

“…This will help in curtailing such unwanted occurrences across all physically taken examinations. In line with this thinking, recent studies have implemented other strategies such as adopting online assessment practices (Fuentes, 2020;Owan, 2020;Shraim, 2019), using the Internet of Things model (Haque et al, 2021), the use of higher-ordered test items and rational emotive behaviour education intervention (Abiogu et al, 2021). Using the resource-process-value (RPV) framework to tackle online examination malpractices has also been proffered (Hu et al, 2021).…”
