Blended assessment with ICT – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, C and E outline a coherent vision of blended assessment that mixes formats, uses ICT for feedback and clarifies expectations. D and F wrongly suggest that communication of criteria becomes unnecessary and that traditional methods must disappear. In practice, viva-voce and similar approaches can coexist with online tools within aligned assessment plans. Thus, the correct set is A, B, C and E only.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it omits E, which emphasises transparency through rubrics. Without E, the combination downplays the role of explicit criteria in fair assessment.

Option B:
Option B is incomplete because it excludes A, so it does not explicitly recognise the combination of online and face-to-face tasks characteristic of blended assessment.

Option C:
Option C is incomplete because it leaves out A and B, thereby ignoring both the variety of tasks and the feedback functions supported by ICT.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it collects statements that stress variety, feedback, alignment and clear criteria while rejecting D’s and F’s extreme claims. This option matches recommended practice for designing blended assessment systems.
