Abstract
This paper discusses some of the reasons for and consequences of changing assessment types away from traditional paper based exams. More specifically, consideration is given to the quiz environments available on virtual learning environments. Of particular interest to the reader are two core aspects: (i) the authenticity of the assessment for holistic assessment and (ii) managing student expectations of the process. The latter of these is the most challenging.
