“…Within this context, a number of authors have recently identified the investigation of the validity and reliability of course-based online assessment methods as a current research need (Ardid, Gómez-Tejedor, Meseguer-Dueñas, Riera, & Vidaurre, 2015;Farrell & Rushby, 2016;Fonolahi, Khan, & Jokhan, 2014;Hewson, 2012;Meyer, Innes, Stomski, & Armson, 2016).
