USE OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES IN E-EVALUATION: STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO COIMBATORE CITY

Abstract

Abstract

In the age of educational technology, mobile learning, or M-learning, is a new wave that offers learners and educators options for informal, personal, voluntary, and contextual learning. Because of its various properties, including portability, interaction, adaptability, and ubiquity, mobile-based assessment is one of the developing technologies that spurs academic interest in examining its efficacy. It was determined from the reviewed literature that there is a dearth of research on students' opinions regarding the use of mobile devices in the context of e-Evaluation. The goal of the current study is to find out how students feel about using mobile devices in the instructor e-assessment system. The information was gathered using a well-structured questionnaire. There are 250 students participated in total. Findings indicated that 100% of the students own a mobile phone or tablet. Moreover, results indicated a statistically significant difference among the students’ attitudes in terms of their gender where the differences were in favour of male students. In contrast, results revealed no statistically significant differences among the students’ attitudes in terms of their age, degree, curriculum and department.
