Zusammenfassung
Interest in electronic assessment (e-assessment) for higher education is growing, but challenges related to security, deployability, and resource demands persist. Recognizing the shortcomings of current electronic on-premise exam systems, this paper presents psi-exam, an e-assessment solution that combines a simple technological design with low-effort organizational measures to achieve high reliability without compromising security. In psi-exam, students take exams on university- provided laptops, which operate independently during the examination. Developed iteratively through stakeholder engagement, psi-exam has been tested in three real-world exams, each with over 140 participants. Post-exam surveys showed generally positive ratings by examinees. Our contribution shows that an alternative approach to e-assessment can result in a simple, reliable, secure, and flexible system for on-premise examination.
