Background of the study
Online examination systems have become an essential tool in modern education, especially with the rise of e-learning platforms and digital assessments. At the University of Jos, Plateau State, traditional methods of conducting exams have led to challenges such as exam scheduling conflicts, physical resource limitations, and delayed grading (Jibril & Ojo, 2023). Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the need for online examination systems to ensure continuity in education, even during disruptions (Lawal & Tunde, 2023). The implementation of an online examination system promises to provide a more flexible, efficient, and secure means of conducting exams.
Such systems utilize secure online platforms to administer, monitor, and grade exams, allowing for immediate feedback and seamless integration into existing academic infrastructures. This study aims to design and implement an online examination system at the University of Jos, which will improve the efficiency of exam administration, reduce administrative burden, and ensure a more secure and transparent assessment process.
