ABSTRACT As a result of containment measures implemented during COVID-19, the authors needed to re-envision and restructure in-person assessments for learning that provided immediate peer feedback to students in their competency-based financial reporting course. Peer feedback is crucial in competency-based education, as mastering a competency necessitates feedback. This study examines the use of mobile instant messaging (MIM) by students to facilitate peer feedback during online assessments for learning and investigates the types of feedback provided. Content analysis of students’ MIMs reveals that cognitive feedback was the most prevalent type provided. Cognitive feedback helps students manage the task at hand, which appears to be important for students coping with the disruptive environment of the pandemic. Although initially prompted by the pandemic, the use of MIM during assessments for learning has the potential to persist in a post-pandemic classroom.

ABSTRACT This study examines business students’ learning and assessment under remote teachings during the COVID-19 pandemic in a well-established Finnish university. A survey method is used to collect information on 336 business students including 42 accounting students. As indicated by students’ responses, a majority of the students succeeded in assessing and self-regulating their learning, but a considerable group of students failed in this task. Students gave a lot of positive feedback on supervised electronic exams, such as scheduling efficiency, improved ability to focus, and reduced stress level. Students also reported a low number of monitoring problems in these exams. Furthermore, the results provide evidence that some students see the risk that problems in monitoring coursework threaten the value of their university degrees. However, about half of the students did not want to increase monitoring. Accounting students’ opinions were mostly similar to those of the other business students. This study contributes to the literature by showing key factors that influence students’ learning in remote teaching under abnormal conditions. In addition, it demonstrates how the constructivist model of learning can be used to explain students’ learning and assessment in these circumstances.
