E-Assessment in Computer Science Higher Education

The increasing use of e-assessment methods for computer science in higher education has led to a growing body of research on this topic. In this systematic literature review, we discuss various assessment types such as true or false questions, essay questions, interactive questions and performance-based assessments, and explore instructors' perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of e-assessment from 86 studies relevant to e-assessment. The review reveals that e-assessment offers numerous advantages, such as efficient grading and automated feedback, but presents unique challenges, such as ensuring academic integrity and providing personalized feedback. We also identify several assessment types typically used in e-assessment, including multiple-choice questions, coding exercises, and peer assessments. Overall, the findings of this study indicate that e-assessment is currently a topic of significant interest in the field of computer science in higher education.
