Abstract
This research assesses the effects of training program based on the usage of the digital learning objects in teaching practice at the Northern Borders University. E-assessment through the tablets and smart phones and the teachers' attitudes towards such way of evaluation is the major objective of this study as the researcher expects that the assessment mechanism in the university, through utilization of tablets and smart phones and its application, will inevitably bring in a systematic improvement in the assessment and evaluation process of the curricula. Moreover, making use of the e-learning objects in training will make a significant change in e training program of the university.
Hence, the researcher has chosen voluntary random samples from the university teaching staff (men\women) from various faculties (medicine, medical sciences, science, education and arts, business administration, home economics, and science and literature). These samples included 300 members of the teaching staff. In a group of 20 to 25 members, a personal training was conducted regarding the usage of tablets and smart phones and its applications in the assessment process. Each group participated by producing a complete e-assessment for their students in the Northern Borders University and by the e-learning system i.e. Blackboard and Question Mark. The research also depends on the semiexperimental design of multiple groups and on testing the groups' pre and post achievement tests. In addition, the research identifies the level of the university teaching staff in using the tablets and the smartphones and its applications in the assessment process by the note card that the individuals have during the test.
