Abstract

Because of the confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, some teachers started using remote education tools. This included computerized examinations, administered online through digital platforms, which are graded in an automated manner, thereby questioning whether computerized evaluation could continue to be used when returning to face-to-face classes.

In order to compare traditional examinations with computerized examinations, this research used the qualitative approach, the research-action method and the data collection techniques of documentary analysis, survey and estimated scales. The computerized tests were used during a whole semester (September 2020-January 2021), proceeding to assess its use by the end of said semester.

In the end, traditional exams were found to be superior to online assessments. However, computerized exams have advantages that should be leveraged, making them an interesting option as complementary assessment in English courses.
