The effectiveness and challenges of online assessment using Interactive Teaching and Learning (ITEL) Platform in Nursing Education: A cross-sectional study

Background: Assessment is a crucial aspect of teaching and learning. Due to COVID-19, most assessments were changed to online mode. This sudden transition from traditional face-to-face to online assessment presented numerous challenges for nursing students. As such, this study determined student's perception of online assessment usage for their final semester exam using Interactive Teaching and Learning (ITEL) as their learning management system. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional survey design, with the questionnaire administered via Google Forms. A purposive sampling method was employed to collect data from 165 undergraduate nursing students. The survey link was shared through WhatsApp's instant messaging system. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Results: The students believed online assessment is helpful in higher education (61.8%). However, only 46% of the respondents consider online assessment relevant to nursing education. Most (54.6%) find nursing education too complicated for online exams. In addition, most respondents (70.9%) are apprehensive about technical glitches that can challenge online assessment. As the method of online assessment, respondents prefer coursework or assignments over written tests (50.9%). The findings also highlighted that the ITEL quiz questions mainly focused on memorising the assessed content (56.4%). However, the students found immediate feedback in the ITEL quiz helpful in the learning process (50.3%). Conclusion: Using less paper and accessing immediate feedback from anywhere is convenient, but there have been some technological issues. Unfortunately, nursing students still hesitate to embrace online assessments due to fears of technical difficulties during exams. Respondents prefer online assessments for formative assessments, while traditional face-to-face exams are preferred for summative assessments. Considering strategies to improve hybrid assessment practices in the post-pandemic era is important.

Iodine Excess May Lead to Low Exam Score in Children Aged 8-10 Years.

Recent research has shown that iodine excess may damage children's intelligence. Years of monitoring results in Shanghai show the iodine status has approached the upper limit of the appropriate range for children aged 8-10years, indicating a risk of iodine excess. We used multi-stage random sampling to select children. Sixteen districts of Shanghai were divided into five units based on geographic location, and one primary school was randomly selected from each unit. In each selected school, about 40 children aged 8-10years were randomly recruited to measure their urinary iodine concentration (UIC), household salt iodine concentration (SIC), the score of the final unified exam of the last semester, and school canteen salt iodine concentration. The median UIC of 3213 children aged 8-10years in Shanghai was 195.4 (122.0, 285.8) µg/L and exceeded 200µg/L in 48.8% of the population. Household and school canteen iodized salt coverage rates were 60.3% and 82.5% respectively, and mean household and school canteen SICs were 21.51 ± 9.30mg/kg and 25.29 ± 3.40mg/kg respectively. By correcting for potential confounding factors, logistic regression demonstrated that compared to the adequate iodine status group, students in the slight iodine excess group were less likely to get "A" (score > 90) in math, Chinese, and English exams (Math: OR = 0.775, 95% CI = 0.660-0.911, P = 0.002; Chinese: OR = 0.707, 95% CI = 0.543-0.842, P < 0.001; English: OR = 0.720, 95% CI = 0.610-0.849, P < 0.001). In Shanghai, the iodine status of 8-10-year-old children is approaching the upper limit of the adequate range. Iodine excess in Shanghai may lead to low exam scores for students.
