Title: Discussion: Approaches to Ensuring Credibility
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 dishonesty (e.g., task design, randomization of questions, time limits)
- use of digital tools for activity monitoring and verification of work authenticity
- ensuring fairness and transparency in assessment
- the role of teachers and ethical dilemmas in balancing control and trust

Task:

- share a personal example from practice (successful or challenging) related to ensuring credibility
- propose one security measure or strategy that 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 the biggest challenge you face when ensuring credibility in 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?

Note
