COVID-19疫情要求学术机构迅速过渡到在线学习，并对评估程序进行修改。本研究探讨了一所药学院如何创造性地应对在线评估的挑战，同时保持必要的标准，准备实践准备的学生药剂师。为了进行传统的考试，教师使用测试软件部署了两种不同类型的方法：一种是视频会议技术方法，模仿大流行前的校园监考考试;另一种是开卷、互联网接入的考试，通过各种测试策略确保学术完整性和严谨性。为了评估学生的临床技能，教师使用了一系列技术，如体检，病人访谈和病人介绍。为了了解学生对这些评估的体验，学生们使用12项问卷进行了调查。总体而言，在线视频监考保持了考试结构和管理的一致性，但需要对学生和监考人员进行广泛的指导。学生更喜欢无监考、开卷、允许上网、标准时间的考试，而不是监考、闭卷、禁止上网、延长时间的考试。考试程序的改变，无论是有监督还是无监督的方法，似乎都增加了学生的压力。
The COVID-19 pandemic required academic institutions to quickly transition to online learning and make changes to assessment procedures. This study examines how a school of pharmacy creatively approached the challenge of online assessment while maintaining the standards necessary to prepare practice-ready student pharmacists. To conduct traditional exams, instructors deployed two different types of methods using testing software: a video conferencing technology approach which mimicked pre-pandemic, on-campus proctored exams; or open-book, internet access-enabled exams that ensured academic integrity and rigor through various testing strategies. To assess students' clinical skills, faculty used a combination of techniques such as physical examinations, patient interviews, and patient presentations. To understand the student experience with these assessments, students were surveyed using a 12-item questionnaire. Overall, online video proctoring maintained consistency in exam structure and administration, but required extensive instruction for both students and proctors. Students preferred unproctored, open-book, internet access-enabled, standard time exams versus proctored, closed-book, internet-access disabled, extended time exams. Changes to testing procedures, whether with proctored or unproctored methods, appeared to increase student stress.
