Abstract

Institutions of higher learning in developing countries are gradually embracing electronic examinations as a result of Covid-19 standard operating procedures that emphasize social distancing. However acquiring secure and acceptable electronic examinations has been a challenge as most of the available electronic examination systems are constrained by limited question types, highly reliant on keyboard typing, and lack of an electronic answer booklet. The electronic examinations framework with free handwriting presented in this paper seeks to address all the aforementioned challenges in-order to improve the usage and security of electronic examinations. To achieve the aforementioned goal, design science methodology was. Results obtained indicated that for usage and security to be eased, various parameters should be put in place i.e. user-friendly interfaces, authentication mechanisms, electronic examination setting, marking and attempt with electronic free-handwriting, electronic results, and a repository for student and lecturer data. The research output/artifact will be beneficial to Students, Lecturers and Institutional administrators.

Abstract

Academic institutions in Uganda are accustomed to using pen-on-paper exams where students are given an answer booklet at the time of the exam. Universities frequently use customized answer booklets which help to lower the prevalence of exam fraud among students. Universities continue to encounter the challenge of examining summative questions like essays after the migration to electronic examinations brought about by the Covid-19 social distancing effects due to the lack of a customized electronic answer booklet. The primary goal of this research was to design algorithms for a customized electronic answer booklet. These algorithms went through six stages, starting with analyzing the problem and ending with developing the algorithms. The design, analysis, and coding of four algorithms i.e. cover page, single empty page, adding a page, and watermark addition algorithms was completed. The designed electronic personalized answer booklet is dynamic in nature and supports page addition, text crossing out or rubbing, and navigating through the electronic question paper. Any academic institution may utilize this electronic answer book.
