The need of online assessment in today’s e-learning scenario in India

India is rapidly developing and the education industry of the country has seen tremendous growth in digitization. Most private institutes have started conducting online classes and the remaining are looking to get on the digital train as well. While there are many apps that allow teachers to conduct online classes and share study material, our country still lags behind in the usage of apps for assessments and there's a dire need of online assessment apps to boost e-learning.

Online assessment is the next change that institutes will divert their focus towards, once they find out the benefits of conducting them. More than the benefits it’s essential that the educational institutes in our country start adapting online assessments because it’s the need of the hour. The COVID-19 crisis has taught us one thing for sure, we need to be able to run all sectors remotely, which includes education as well. 

To be able to keep the education industry running remotely, we will have to think more than just online classes. We will have to conduct assessments and exams remotely as well. Sharing study material, conducting classes and assessments online would mean that we can completely move to a sustainable remote teaching and learning environment if needed. 

We know that the whole education infrastructure of the country is still in its developing phase and such ideas can give a boost to the whole e-learning scenario.

The Schoolzpro app for example is a brilliant application that promotes both e-learning and e-teaching. The app not only allows you to share study material (which we are already doing) but it also helps you to conduct online assessments. Again, objective assessments have picked up pace but no one's focusing on subjective exams that truly test a student. This app however, gives you an option to conduct both objective and subjective exams. You can check papers in real-time and share grades, feedback with the students. The application serves as an all in one platform for sharing resources to impart education and conducting exams to test the knowledge of students.

Such applications can transform the whole industry and we need our schools to focus on this revolutionary method of conducting exams. Using an online assessment app can benefit the schools brilliantly. For example, if you conduct an assessment with schoolzpro, you are saving a lot of time and capital usually wasted in printing and preparing question papers, answer sheets. The teachers have more time at their hand, as they don't have to check and handle bundles of papers and invigilate the exams. You will have a track record of each student's performance on each test within the app. And the most of all, you will be able to analyse the exam results to check the weaknesses of the students and help them learn those topics to boost overall results.
