4. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION:
Questionmark perception (QMP) is a very helpful
tool in conducting examinations at university level,
either online or offline. It also provides excellent
analysis of the questions, feedback, students
performance and reliability of the assessments.
QMP is limited due to the drawbacks that there will
be an online students sense of isolation as they feel
more impersonal over the electronic media. In the
event of a technical or temporary internet
connection failure, students may feel a sense of
disruption and distraction [15]. In our university,
QMP is mostly used for multiple choice quizzes
provided by the software publisher, but these types
of assessments lack creativity and may not be
suitable to the specific needs of the learners.
Creating online tests in QMP may be very tedious
and time-consuming [16]. It is not as easy as simply
uploading the Microsoft Word version of the test.
Instead, instructors have to either copy and paste
