Abstract
Online education has been around for a few decades now, with a growing number of higher education institutions offering various online courses either as part of a degree or as further professional development. However, the global COVID-19 pandemic forced the transfer of education from a traditional classroom to a virtual environment. Such a sudden transit meant that not only teaching and learning but also assessment had to be conducted online. The paper aims to present our experience of online assessment of a Medical English course delivered in the first semester of the academic year 2021–2022 to 1st-year medical students. Data were collected through observation. The results proved that the online system was effective in analyzing and assessing students.
