What is an Online Exam System?
An online exam system is a standalone feature in a school management system that covers the experience of administering an exam, taking an exam, and following outcomes from end to end. An online exam system, also known as an online testing platform, e-assessment system or commonly as** CBT** i.e Computer Based Test, is a digital platform designed to administer and manage examinations or assessments over the internet. It replaces traditional paper-based exams with a web-based or software-based interface, allowing students, candidates, or participants to take exams or quizzes online.
A CBT platform provides a comprehensive examination experience for both students and teachers alike. It is less laborious and overhead intensive examination experience since it gives an automated and digitized version of the examination administration experience, while also ensuring greater flexibility and access for students from all corners of the world.
Why does Your School need an Online Exam Management System?
The traditional examination system has been in place for a long time. Over the years, inaccuracies in exam duration, question format, evaluation methods, and feedback have evolved, but generally speaking this pen and paper model has persisted over decades of education. So you might ask, why the change to an online examination system now? Simply put, with innovations in technology, an increasingly digitized and globalized world, and data-driven insights into teaching and learning methods, an online examination system provides a better perspective into the educative journey of a student. Examinations are not just a part and parcel of student life. This is why CLOUDNOTTE has developed an evaluative tool that allows students, teachers, and parents to track and measure every students' educational progress via our CBT i.e Computer Based Test feature. It also serves as an important metric on which to base learning and teaching decisions for the future. Unlike a traditional examination system, the CBT is far more enhanced in numerous ways. From easier setup to remote access, to faster evaluations, an online exam system is better at fulfilling its primary role of being an evaluative tool.
