Annotation The modern world provides more and more opportunities for using digital resources in the education system. The variety of digital tools and the ubiquitous availability of information anywhere and at any time create tremendous opportunities for the creative use of diverse approaches to assessing student learning in higher education. One of the widespread methods of online assessment used in higher education is online testing. Increasing the use of online tests requires the study of various resources and their capabilities in assessing learning. The article analyzes the role of online tests in higher education, their capabilities in assessing the results of students’ learning in distance and mixed formats, as well as the issues and problems they pose. The article discusses the stages of development of test tasks, as well as the rules that must be followed when compiling them. An analysis of some interactive tools for the development of various test materials has been carried out, on the basis of which several tools are proposed. In addition, the authors conclude that the limitations that are obvious when using online tests are not their inherent features, but are the result of poorly designed test tasks, an unsuccessful choice of tools for developing online tests.
Key words online testing, test tasks, interactive tools for the development of test materials, distance and mixed learning
