Educators around the world face a new challenge of how to conduct exams to assess what students have learned after the shift towards e-learning following the closure of nearly all universities aimed at stopping the spread of the novel corona virus.
Many teachers' first impulse was to take online exams in the same way they used to in the classroom, as they used to evaluate their students through written tests whose final grades were considered a standard of success or failure. So have new methods for exams in electronic learning to verify credibility been developed? and do the exams for students in electronic education have the same credibility in terms of measuring and evaluating learning as traditional education?
Look around you and count how many black offices for solving the exams and assignments are there.
From my point of view, e-learning alone will not succeed without traditional learning. Furthermore, I see that e-learning hasn't achieved the desired aims or results for developing countries and traditional learning is better. This is because there are many black offices for solving exam questions!! These offices made online learning a trading stock that resembles the slave-market.
At least, the hybrid learning of both of them is better than the traditional one.
In any way, exams must be inside the educational institutes with the physical attendance of the students.
Technological developments have afforded new ways of assessing student learning and providing feedback. When I was studying in USA in 1970s, students were used to take open book exams and take home exams. Leaving aside the poosibilities of cheating, all these types of exams are credible in terms of measuring and evaluating the learning process.
I believe the measure of its effectiveness depends largely on the purpose or the form of evaluation and assessment. Is it an Assessment for,of or as Learning.
Determining the purpose of the assessment would determine the form and from there ,it can be measured to verify if it's been effective or not.
In my opinion, most of the universities resort to the multiple choice form of assessment which creates the assumption of an alteration in the quality of assessment.
I believe e-assessment has not been explored that much.
Now to attempt answering your question, In some part of the globe , it has that credibility. It is being accepted but on a gradual pace.
It depends on the context! Online exams conducted while at home are questionable. Online exams conducted on campus are more valid and reliable.

Traditional education is a golden line for the students equip their knowledge in the far better way as they have to concentrate with the mind & study while in case of e-learning although knowledge become vast in e - learning every thing becomes mechanical & they have to merely depend on e- learning .
Everywhere in the world or in the mall sales representative depend only on calculates even for counting few adding calculation . With this let me respect the late respected Shakuntala Devi for vast calculation she is to carry out with the brain faster than computer .
This is my personal opinion
Nope, i would like to write NEVER. Multiple Pros and Cons of both systems.
Rohit Manilal Parikh ,thanks for your helpful contribution. I really appreciate it.
Dear بان اوميد رشيد
Correct , It seems that the exams for students in electronic education have not the same credibility in terms of measuring and evaluating learning as traditional education
