Abstract

The most unique characteristic of distance education, undeniably, is distance – imparting education from a distance. The distance feature means the student and the instructor or teacher are physically separated. This has a myriad of implications for the student learning and assessment processes. This paper will focus on the student assessment process, that is the administration of assessment and the automated computerized scoring method and the current score delivery service on the Web. Assessment involves assignments and testing or examination. Assignments, as they are in conventional education, are integral components of distance education. They serve the purpose of assessing the student learning process and achievement. Due to Indonesia’s geographical features with over 6000 small and big islands, within two big oceans, distance education is perceived the most effective form of instruction delivery for people in remote areas to attain university degrees. The UT was established by the government in 1984 and has been the only distance education university in the country.
