Abstract

Managing assessment effectively is not only important, but a necessity for ODL universities that deal with range of assessment complexities due to their operating structure. ODL institutions are demanded to ensure that their assessment standards are able to meet and fulfil multifaceted expectations and requirements. Mechanisms are required to ensure that the set standards are able to be sustained across all courses and programs. Besides that, ODL institutions also need to ensure that its assessment procedures and processes operate in ways that are equitable and consistent across cohorts and semesters. Thus, an effective management system for assessment practices and procedures is fundamental to coherently manage the many and various assessments in meeting the goals while taking accounts of the opportunities and constraints in the ODL settings. One way to achieve is through a Question Bank System which is an online system of databank that archives examination questions that are already existing or created by user from time-to-time and in addition, able to function as an examination system. The design and development of an online Question Bank System (QBank System) at Open University Malaysia (OUM) is discussed in this paper.
