Abstract

online testing was introduced for the Physics 1 course at the Higher Colleges of Technology; Fujairah Men's College in the Fall 2016 semester. The students wrote an online test 1 in Blackboard Learn and a paper-based test 2. The validity of the online testing was assessed by comparing the performance of students, relative to the other students in their section, for the paper-based and online tests. Analysis of the results did not show any measurable difference in relative student performance for the online test compared to the paper-based version. An online system-wide Physics 1 final exam for all the seventeen colleges in the Higher Colleges of Technology system was introduced in the Fall semester of 2018. The results for this final exam and those from the subsequent two semesters are shown and briefly discussed. These results indicate a general improvement in grades subsequent to the Fall 2018 semester. Current and future work is described.
