An HCI-Centered Experiences of ICT Integration and Its Impact on Professional Competencies Supporting Formative Assessment in Higher Education e-Learning

As universities expand their e-learning systems, it becomes increasingly important to understand how the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) changes the skills needed for effective formative assessment. This study uses the principles of human–computer interaction (HCI) to create a framework for examining how digital tools, interfaces, and modes of interaction influence the way teachers assess students in higher education. The research relies on the information provided by 115 Mohammed V University teachers, who filled out a competency-based assessment grid regarding online assessment practices. The results remain exploratory and context-dependent and do not make claims of statistical representativeness beyond the studied institutional context. The findings attest to the virtues of digital technology in improving methodological and techno-pedagogical skills, without excluding the existence of serious shortcomings in semio-ethical and evaluative skills. It is certainly useful to leverage feedback to correct imperfections in evaluation practices and make them more responsive to digital interfaces. It is becoming imperative to rethink professional skills as the regulatory halo of the online formative assessment system, in order to evaluate a more synergistic framework that can give better visibility to virtual classrooms.
