Implementing new methods and tools at an established institution is bound to encounter obstacles. For educational institutions and the implementation of electronic assessment, the largest barrier seems to be spatial and/or economical, according to a 2018 survey from HeLF (Heads of eLearning Forum).
44 % of the responses cite ‘room capacity’ as the largest perceived barrier when it comes to electronic management of assessment and digital exams, with respondents argumenting that ‘PC’s and PC rooms are inadequate in numbers’ and ‘infrastructure and space hinder a wider adoption’.
