The TeSLA Project was presented at EDULEARN18 – the 10th Annual International Conference on Education and New Learning Technologies
Sofia University, Bulgaria and Anadolu University, Turkey as two of the TeSLA pilot institutions presented the project at the 10th EDULEARN18 which was held in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) between 2nd and 4th of July, 2018. It is one of the biggest international conferences where more than 800 participants: experts, lecturers, researchers, technologists and profe-ssionals in education from 80 countries from around the world meet and share their knowledge on teaching and learning methodologies, and educational innovations. It is among the most popular and successful conferences in education in Europe.
Sofia University team presented a paper entitled “The Impact of Prior Experience of E-Learning and E-Assessment on Students’ and Teachers’ Approaches to the Use of a Student Authentication and Authorship Checking System” in a poster conference. The paper addresses cheating and plagiarism as a challenge for the introduction of e-assessment and online learning in a campus-based university at the stage of transformation of its educational model from face-to-face to online learning.
The paper aims to identify how the teachers’ and students’ experience of online learning and e-assessment affects their perspective on cheating and plagiarism in e-assessment and how the use of student authentication and authorship checking system affects their perspective on the advantages and challenges of e-assessment.
Another paper was presented in the poster conference by Sofia University and Anadolu University jointly titled “Approaches to Prevent Cheating and Plagiarism in E-Assessment: Higher Education Students’ Views” within the TeSLA Project. The paper focused on the students’ opinions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of e-assessment, types of cheating the students witness most frequently in non-invigilated exams carried out in an online environment and how students think cheating and plagiarism could be prevented or diminished in their university courses.
