ENHANCING THE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM THROUGH THE USE OF ONLINE PLATFORMS: MOODLE AND GOOGLE CLASSROOM

Abstract

The rapid digitalization of higher education has significantly transformed teaching, learning, and assessment practices. Online learning platforms such as Moodle and Google Classroom provide innovative opportunities to enhance assessment systems by increasing transparency, accessibility, flexibility, and efficiency. This study explores the potential of these platforms in improving formative and summative assessment in English language teaching at the university level. The research applies a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data from student performance records and qualitative feedback from instructors and learners. The findings reveal that digital platforms contribute to more objective grading, continuous assessment, timely feedback, and improved student engagement. However, challenges such as digital literacy gaps, academic integrity concerns, and technical limitations remain significant. The study concludes that integrating structured digital assessment strategies within online platforms can substantially improve the quality and reliability of evaluation systems in higher education institutions.
