Electronic Integrity Issues in E-Assessment Security

Abstract

This paper describes electronic integrity in the context of curbing double submissions during e-assessments. Submission of examination answers is an important part of assessment whether paper or electronic based. As will be discussed in this paper, double submission of an assessment test by one student is a breach in electronic integrity and it breeds electronic corruption. The proposed solutions will present a method to reduce this problem, by combining studentspsila login ID with static IP addresses for the duration of an e-assessment. This technique will ensure single submission of tests per student in e-learning systems.
