Abstract
Universities are central to society in that they contribute extensively to the delivery of competencies, skills and knowledge essential to the hi-tech world we have developed since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The Covid pandemic has forced academe to rethink the strategies that are used to assess students' competence. The purpose of this interpretive paper is to reflect on online examinations. In this paper, a short outline of traditional examinations is considered and compared with current examinations. This is important because it appears that examination strategies have not sufficiently evolved over the years to reflect the current circumstances. The different issues that affect the digital learning space are examined and some of the challenges are assessed. The practical implications of this research are that we as academe need to co-create the learning journey with our students.
