In order to organize examination and assessment of all modules in the second semester of the 2019-2020 academic year, on April 12^th, 2020, ULIS-VNU held an online seminar under the topic “Solutions for online assessment at ULIS-VNU”.

Right from the first weeks of social distancing due to the complicated situation of Covid-19 pandemic, ULIS lecturers instantly conducted online teaching via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or similar softwares to ensure everything went on as ‘the new normal’.

When the end of the second semester of the 2019-2020 academic year was drawing near, such online training necessitated online examination and assessment which met the same basic requirements as those of the offline mode, including high confidentiality, strong interaction and high efficiency.

The seminar lasted more than 4 hours, attracting nearly 250 teachers. In the seminar, all speakers shared the current methods of online assessment, together with their practical implementation experience at the University.

Concluding the seminar, President Do Tuan Minh highly appreciated the organizers’ efforts, particularly the quality of all the presentations. Aiming to reduce students’ workload, requirements and expectations, he asked functional departments to join training units in building and issuing guidelines on the organization of simple, effective and feasible online examination and assessment.
