| Popis: | The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced Universities to adopt new approaches in both deliver their learning activities and carry out the examinations. The remote examination approach was selected in order to overcome the limitation of students’ physical presence in examination centers. This paper presents the evaluation of the remote examinations conducted by the Hellenic Open University. A sample of 9.276 students participated in order to fill out anonymously a short questionnaire that consists of 11 questions (8 closed-ended Likert-like and 3 open-ended). Both qualitative and quantitative analysis was employed. Analysis revealed that students were satisfied in general from the remote examination process and they expressed their desire to be examined remotely in the future. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first large-scale study of a remote examination process in our country. |
