E-Testing In Graduate Courses: Reflective Practice Case Studies, Martin W. Sivula Ph.D., Elizabeth B. Robson J.D.
MBA Faculty Conference Papers & Journal Articles
Do testing and exam conditions make a difference in final exam grades? Do testing “out of class” and “in class” produce different results over the same courses?

In general, the “online” e-testers performed at a higher level than the ““in class”” testers with and without any time restrictions while test taking. Tentative implications might be that online exams (less controls) yield grades which are possibly higher, and may or may not be “grade inflated.” On …
