Electronic Student Assessment Without the Need for Internet Access: An Innovative Program Organized by the College of Pharmacy

Recognizing the importance of adopting modern and effective approaches to student assessment—approaches that enhance interactive classroom management and direct the educational process toward achieving its intended learning outcomes—Dr. Mohammed Noor Al-Din delivered a lecture entitled “How to Conduct Examinations and Assess Students Without Using the Internet.” In his lecture, he presented a program he developed that enables the connection of students’ mobile phones to the instructor’s personal computer, with the aim of collecting and analyzing students’ responses in real time during the lecture, without the need for an internet connection.

The program serves as an alternative to certain electronic assessment tools that require internet access, such as Kahoot and Google Forms, as it relies on students’ use of their mobile phones to access assessments and submit their responses within the classroom environment.

The lecture was held yesterday, Wednesday, 17 December 2025, in the College of Pharmacy hall, in the presence of the Dean of the College, Assistant Professor Dr. Maysar Mohammed Ali Al-Qoutji, the Assistant Dean for Scientific Affairs, Assistant Professor Dr. Hassan Al-Diwahji, as well as a number of faculty members.

The attendees emphasized the significance of such initiatives in keeping pace with the shift toward interactive education, contributing to the improvement of the quality of university education and overcoming technical challenges associated with internet services.
