Reflections on 6 years of computer-aided assessment at the Jinan–Birmingham Joint Institute

Abstract In this article, we reflect on our experience teaching on transnational Mathematics programmes at the Jinan–Birmingham Joint Institute, particularly the use of the Möbius computer-aided assessment system throughout all modules and levels taught by the University of Birmingham. The particular context of our institute, including its transnational educational model used and the rationale for our heavy reliance on these assessments, is described in detail prior to discussing how we design and implement these assessments. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic integrity forced us to reconsider our assessment diet, and this paper concludes with a reflection on our teaching experience, focusing on the capabilities of computer-aided assessment systems and how they are used in practice by academics with a wide variety of experience.
