Abstract

Assessment of students’ knowledge and skills, not only in medical education, has been conducted as a combination of paper based tests followed by oral examination for many years. Thanks to the development of modern technologies and advances achieved in learning management systems almost each education institution operates more or less effectively, the teachers obtained various sophisticated and fully electronic assessment tools. However, many of the teachers still prefer to spend incomparably more time using traditional pen-and-paper approach, as they are afraid of a time-consuming and technically challenging change, but most of all they do not trust the security and reliability of such tools can be high enough to minimize the wide range of potential risks related to frauds in the assessment processes. In this paper, we describe the approach we used in implementation of an e-assessment management system at our faculty as well as the security related features integrated into the individual assessment forms to guarantee the highest possible safety levels. The results of our work convinced us this approach was set as very good compromise, because of continuously increasing number of active examiners, i.e. our teachers and because of their satisfaction after initial work and time investment.
