Abstract

Along with many other institutions of higher education, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted Northeastern University to move courses online for the second half of the spring semester and beyond. As this crisis unfolded, faculty turned to the Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning Through Research (CATLR) for support on how to conduct their courses online—including effectively lecturing, facilitating discussions, and assessing student learning online. On the topic of learning assessment, CATLR developed, delivered, and iterated upon a workshop called, “Strategies for Effective Online Exams.” The workshop focused on strategies for balancing multiple needs, including rapid development, rigor, prevention of cheating, and equitable exam experiences for all students. While the shift to remote education was the impetus for educators to re-think exam administration, we hope some of these strategies will remain a part of educators’ practice, whether online or on ground.
