A new perception in the field of students’ evaluation is of great interest from both educational and
pedagogical point of view. Electronic examination method has been applied and evaluated for one of the core
modules of the Department of Electronics of the Technological Educational Institution (T.E.I.) of Athens. Fifty
percent of the students, who participated in the module’s final test in June 2004, were examined via the
electronic examination, whereas the other fifty percent were examined via the conventional method. The
examined topics were of equivalent difficulty and the examinees were distributed in a way that the two groups
had the same level of knowledge level. The results indicate that the performance of students who participated in
the electronic examination (e-examination) was higher than the performance of students who participated in the
conventional method of examination.
