Name one advantage of online assessments over traditional assessments.

One significant advantage of online assessments is the greater flexibility in timing and location for learners. This flexibility allows students to take assessments at a time that suits them, potentially leading to better performance as they can choose moments when they feel most prepared and focused. Additionally, online assessments can be taken from various locations, such as home, libraries, or cafes, which removes the constraints of having to be physically present in a specific location, such as a classroom or exam hall. This aspect of online assessments can accommodate diverse learning environments, making it easier for students to integrate assessments into their schedules without the stress of logistical considerations associated with traditional assessment settings.

The option relating to security measures does not apply directly to the flexibility advantage; while online assessments can have security protocols, these are not innately more stringent than those employed in traditional settings. Face-to-face interaction, which is essential for many aspects of learning and assessment, is naturally more limited in online formats compared to traditional ones. Finally, the perspective around standardized question formats being exclusive to online assessments does not pertain to the inherent flexibility that the online mode offers learners.
