Abstract:
In this era of advanced technology, the learning paradigm is shifting from traditional teacher to student model of pedantry to e-learning. There are numerous e-learning environments that use modern technologies in which assessment plays an important role to measure student progress. In this milieu, traditional paper based testing is unsuitable, hence, e-Assessment (Computer Based Testing or CBT) was introduced to overcome archaic limitations and streamline evaluation procedures. E-Learning is growing and has become popular, even common place, in a few sectors of Saudi Arabia`s Secondary Schools, for which the Ministry of Higher Education continually strives to improve. But due to a lack of suitable planning and evaluation protocols, limited reviews of these efforts have been recorded. This paper, therefore, proposes a framework that may help improve CBT implementation in Saudi Arabia, specifically at the secondary level. A survey of six schools in Saudi Arabia was made to validate components of the framework. The outcomes suggests that our proposal will appropriately address issues raised by previous attempts at CBT implementation.
