The evolution of technology has led to the digitalization of user experience.
Use of mobile devices and applications have become popular throughout the
world and surveys indicate that by 2020, they will play a prominent role in our
daily routines. In the education sector however, advancements in monitoring
student assessments is still lacking, whereby students can only view their on-
going assessment (tests, quizzes, and assignments) at the end of the
semester. This generally limits the feedback necessary for student progress
assessment, as it is no longer possible for the students to take corrective
action by the time the scores are released. Furthermore, the typical practice of
printing assessments is both time-consuming and not eco-friendly. Students
tend to face difficulties in understanding their coursework assessment scores,
which leads to poor planning in their studies. Lecturers also have a hard time
tracking student performance due to class size, making accurate assessment
at the individual level problematic. Here we have developed a digitized
assessment tracking mechanic in order to achieve the objectives stated in the
IR 4.0. The Performance Assessment Tracking System (PATS) provides real
time assessment and integrates student learning experience into the online
platform, allowing them to monitor their progress throughout the semester.
Moreover, PATS provides an efficient mechanism for calculating, assessing,
and categorizing student performance. The system aids instructors in
identifying any coursework assessments that needs attention by providing a
graphical presentation of the level of performance (i.e Excellent, On Track,
Falling Behind, and Critical). Using this system, it becomes much easier for
academic advisors to consult students on specific areas of concern in their
coursework assessment. This emphasizes a human-centric approach to
learning, as highlighted in Education 5.0. PATS has the potential to be applied
to different courses under various |
