$\huge \mathbb \fcolorbox{black}{plum}{Answer}$

Online exams are still a new phenomenon at higher education institutions, so there’s a lot to learn regarding the wide-spread implementation of these new exam processes.

However, during a period where in-person contact comes with many risks, online exams are a great way of maintaining momentum in higher education and to ensure the learning process doesn’t ground to a halt.

There are also several arguments that suggest that online exams will remain a key feature of the higher education experience even after the worst of the coronavirus crisis has subsided.

According to SI News, the process of marking in-person examinations is “expensive and highly ineffective,” considering the cost of the assessor and the “extensive manual data entry” which is subject to human error.

Other benefits include a significant reduction in the paper used and time required to conduct and mark the exams.

Before the pandemic hit, the University of Bergen, the University of Oslo, and the University of Agder were all in the process of adopting digital exams with great success. At the University of Oslo, 75% of all exams are now conducted digitally.
