“…Not only did the pandemic force academics to quickly reconceptualise and redesign their assessment for online contexts, in many cases it also forced IT managers to review the capacity of their Institute's Learning Management System (LMS) and to audit the installed features of this platform to optimise online assessment processes. A study by Topuz, Saka, Fatsa, and Kurun (2022), aimed to identify the main characteristics of online assessment systems and platforms by systematically analysing online assessment studies indexed by Google Scholar in 2020. The analysis focused on supported IT platforms, the security features and the overall common features of the online assessment systems.…”

ATINER is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens. ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER's downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles' Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER's mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people's opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one's opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the 'truth' are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER's name.

“…By ensuring academic integrity, educators promote the credibility and validity of the learning outcomes and ensure that learners are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge. Hence, higher education institutions should consider when implementing online assessment, they should consider the capabilities of educators and learners (Topuz et al, 2022). Rozilawati shared how appropriate assessments were accomplished during the pandemic:…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced traditional higher education institutions to switch to Emergency Remote Teaching through internet platforms and traditional modes which created significant disruptions. Language educators also were required to conduct online assessments. Using a collaborative autoethnography, we analysed our experiences on Emergency Remote Teaching as three language educators at three Malaysian higher education institutions during the COVID-19 epidemic. We were experts in traditional face-to-face classrooms but novices in online learning environments. The framework for our research was resilience theory. Resilience describes our ability to alter and adapt in the face of adversity. We employed theme analysis to evaluate our self-reflective field notes, which were supplemented with social media posts, from April 2020 to April 2021. Our findings indicate that four themes arose from our research. The findings suggest that four themes emerged from our study; i. strategies used during Emergency Remote Teaching, ii. multiple roles, iii. resiliency, and iv. challenges. The findings give insights into educators' tactics for adapting to the Emergency Remote Teaching environment, their many responsibilities, their resiliency, and the problems they experienced. We feel that our experiences with Emergency Remote Teaching have helped us become better competent language instructors who advocate the synergy of online and offline language study. Our research adds to a better understanding of the experiences that language educators had during Emergency Remote Teaching and the use of these experiences in higher education professional development. These findings are important for policymakers, administrators, and educators as they develop strategies and policies to assist educators in times of crisis.

“…Ever since the introduction of the World Wide Web in the 1990s, people in education have created and proposed various forms of e-assessment (Alruwais et al, 2018). With the global pandemic happening around the world, the need and urgency to create and apply e-assessment in schools and educational institutions has increased significantly (Topuz et al, 2022). Even after the global pandemic was declared to end, e-assessment is still widely preferred as it provides various benefits for students, teachers, schools, and educational institutions.…”

In light of seeking the proper e-assessment media, the Quizizz application may offer some features supporting the online assessment process. However, potential issues on the obstacles faced in using the application for e-assessment have yet to be deeply investigated. The current study investigated the potential challenges in utilizing Quizizz as a formative e-assessment media in English for Tour Operations class. The current study took place in one vocational higher education. Thirty-eight vocational students were invited to participate in the study, but only 30 vocational students agreed to consent. The current study applied a qualitative approach and took a case study design. Classroom observation, questionnaire distribution, and interviews were conducted to gain the data. For the data analysis, the current study implemented three qualitative data analysis phases: reducing data, displaying data, and drawing conclusions. As a result, the current study revealed that most vocational students experienced some challenges using Quizizz during the e-assessment process. They admitted that they had internet connection problems, limited time duration, device problems, and technical skill problems. It indicated that the application could raise potential problems during the e-assessment process. During the utilization of this application, the English teacher or lecturer needs to reassure the vocational students' capacity to take the e-assessment and to offer any assistance for students facing problems during the e-assessment process.
