Abstract

The online learning system has been implemented as a global response to the current situation in many universities, especially Mulawarman University, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was aimed to examine assessment techniques conducted in online classes. This study employed a survey study design by distributing questionnaires to 29 lecturers from various disciplines of Teaching and Learning Faculty of Mulawarman University. The data taken from the questionnaire were tallied in percentage. The findings revealed that both using Zoom as the platform to conduct group presentations and creating videos as the final projects were two assessment techniques, with the highest percentage of 65.5%, used by lecturers. This was followed by the lecturers’ instruction to write an essay as a technique to assess the students with the percentage of 62.1%. However, the other techniques listed on the questionnaire resulted in the percentages lower than 50%, such as answering questions on Google Classroom with 44.8%, summarizing learning materials with 34.5%, and completing worksheets with 13.8%. These statistical results show that working together as a group for students to present the instructed materials on a virtual platform such as Zoom is still considered as one of the best strategies to promote collaborative work among university students. Likewise, the video creation is used to facilitate students in the current situations where technological devices become the common thing nowadays.
