When and when not to use online assessments in a blended course.
It's true that online testing reduces the grading time. While this may be a gained positive for instructors, a negative is the added responsibility on students to navigate through assessments and technology in an online environment. Academic honesty has to be taken into account as well. In most cases, faculty have no option but to offer the online assessments during class time. A more balanced approach would be offering non-graded or non-credit assessments online and leaving the graded or credit assessments in the traditional setting through pen and paper or classroom proctoring.
