Abstract

This study aims to explore university students’ perception regarding an e-assessment system in terms of preference, assessment management, and the quality assurance process. A cross-sectional online survey was employed among 384 students of Nepal Open University (NOU). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used in the research. Findings indicate that the perception of students regarding preference, e-assessment management, and the quality assurance process was found to be significantly high. In particular, the perception of preference regarding digital assessment was higher than assessment management and the quality assurance process. Gender, ethnicity, and place for taking classes, have an effect on implementation. This study concludes that three attributions of preference for digital assessment, management, and quality assurance are affected by one another.
