eAssessment
Monash has two supported assessment platforms: eAssessment and Moodle (ELMS). Both in-semester and end-of-semester timed assessments can be delivered via either platform, however, there are many advantages to using the eAssessment platform for your assessments. Centrally scheduled final assessments should be delivered via the eAssessment platform wherever possible.
The eAssessment platform is a Monash-owned, custom-designed assessment platform - independent from the LMS used for teaching. It’s a secure and robust platform, employing a user-friendly interface designed for students by students. It has features such as a timer, progress bar, user interface to identify unanswered questions, autosave functionality and notes sections.
The eAssessment platform can be used for:
- timed in-semester or end-of-semester assessments
- with online supervision for accredited units
- with Safe Exam Browser enabled for unsupervised timed assessments
- 12 or 24hr duration take-home exams
- large cohorts
