Title: Discussion on Ethical Challenges and Privacy in Digital Assessment
Course: Assessment Using Digital Technology > Section: Ethical and safety aspects of assessment in a digital environment

In this discussion, we exchange experiences, ideas, and recommendations for maintaining the credibility of assessment in digital learning environments.

The focus of the discussion includes:

- effective methods for reducing the risk of academic misconduct (e.g., task design, randomised questions, time limits)
- use of digital tools for monitoring activity and verifying the authenticity of student work
- ensuring fairness and transparency in assessment
- the role of teachers and ethical dilemmas in balancing control and trust.

Participant task:

- share a personal example from practice (successful or challenging) related to ensuring credibility
- propose one security measure or strategy you consider effective
- comment on at least one colleague’s contribution with a suggestion, question, or link to a similar context.

Discussion questions:

1. Which measures do you use to prevent irregularities in assessment?
2. What is your biggest challenge in ensuring the credibility of online assessment?
3. Do you believe that technical solutions can replace pedagogical trust?
4. How do you ensure that assessment criteria are consistent and transparent?

The instructor moderates the discussion, guiding it toward connections with previous activities and encouraging deeper reflection on the pedagogical and technical aspects of the topics.

Note

- The instructor will pose additional questions to deepen reflection and may provide supplementary materials and examples to support the discussion.
