Abstract
Online teaching has necessitated a reconceptualization of traditional assessment of the students. Pen and paper tests are passive – innovative online assessment tools are the order of the day, especially when the teaching has gravitated to virtual mode. An exploratory design was adopted for the present study. A total of 70 faculty members who are actively involved in online assessment was selected purposively from different degree colleges and universities of Andhra Pradesh. The study was conducted in February 2022. The major findings of the study revealed that Google forms, Quizziz and Moodle were the most popular (98.57%, 74.29%&71.43%) and preferred (88.57%, 52.86%& 38.57% respectively) assessment tools by the majority of the teachers due to their familiarity with the tools. Whereas Mentimeter (35.71%) and poll everywhere (28.57%) were the least favoured among all the online assessment tools. Moreover, there exists a highly significant difference between knowledge of teachers towards assessment tools based on age range, institution and subject taught. Similarly, a significant difference between possession of skills in usage of online assessment tools of teachers based on age range experience, subject taught and type of institution in which they are working was also observed. The study gives an insight into the knowledge and usage of the various online assessment tools popular among the teaching fraternity.
