Abstract
Higher education examinations are becoming increasingly digitized, especially since the abrupt switch to online education during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, student opinions on taking different types of examinations are rarely explored. This study aims to investigate student perceptions of the digitization of higher education examinations at the University of Groningen. In-depth interviews of four participants were conducted to talk about their experiences with digital and online examinations during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Student responses predominantly discussed stress levels, distractions, difficulties with technology, efficiency, and autonomy in relation to taking digitized examinations. Stress levels turned out to be lower during digitized examinations in comparison to traditional examinations and distractions were minimal during online examinations. Participants showed appreciation for the efficiency and autonomy of digitization, however, the results also showed difficulties and downsides of the use of digital devices. Despite criticism in certain areas, participants were in favor of the digitization of higher education examinations and emphasized that further improvement is needed for an ideal exam environment. Keywords: online examinations, digital examinations, student experiences, higher education
