"Students that have opted for distance learning will complete their term assessments at home, while students in school will use the same digital tools to complete their assessments in class with a teacher present," said Sangita Chima, the school's principal.
Assessments are divided in two parts, she explained. The first include objective questions that students will need to complete within a fixed time limit, while the second will be subjective, allowing students to develop "meaningful and skill-based knowledge".
"Our students self-assess and set targets in order to scale their learning graph," Chima added.
Another Dubai school, where exams will begin in the last week of October, will have the same set-up. Deepika Thapar Singh, CEO-principal of Credence High School, said: "We will conduct the online exams on a tried-and-tested platform, which the students will carry out on their own digital devices. The online exam software also has a feature that enables students to attach images of handwritten work to the exam."
Lalitha Suresh of GEMS Our Indian School said: "Our students in younger school years will take the exams online. My earnest request is to allow children to attempt examinations on their own. Therefore, we are asking parents to talk to them about the ill effects of using malpractices. The outcome of the examination reflects what the children know and do not know. We need to assess learners' progress to identify learning gaps and offer remedial and accelerated learning and assessment."
