- Exploring Online Assessment Strategies Through the SAMR Model: Insights from Higher Education Lecturers (2026) · The Journal of Educators Online · doi
Future research should investigate how students perceive and respond to assessment activ- ities at different SAMR levels, particularly examining whether higher-level integration corre- lates with improved learning outcomes or student satisfaction. Future research might explore alternative or complementary frameworks, such as the TPACK model or the Technological Learning Acceptance model, to gain more nuanced insights into the complex interplay between technology, ped- agogy, and assessment practices in higher education. Future research could explore how to systematically move towards higher SAMR levels in online assessment design. Further research is needed to establish connections between these variables and assessment practices.
