Online Exams during Covid-19 Era: Reconsidering Learning as the Main Goal of Exams
ABSTRACT
Medical education like any other aspect of the healthcare system is affected by COVID19. Consequently, the evaluation of students' performance by online exams becomes more common. This article is a viewpoint to use this opportunity to reconsider learning as the main goal of online exams by using Open Book Exams (OBEs), randomizing questions and choices, questioning from all "must-knows", and using real clinical scenarios.
