- Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the impact of online assessment tools and digital proctoring on academic integrity, specifically focusing on the role of students’ perceptions of fairness as a mediator in higher education. A quantitative survey was conducted at Universiti Kuala Lumpur to examine the discussed dynamics among undergraduate students Although online assessment tools significantly influence academic integrity, the research suggests that the direct impact of digital proctoring on academic honesty is very weak. Conversely, perceiving digital proctoring as fair amplifies its impact, underscoring the crucial significance of fairness in the assessment procedure. Within the realm of higher education, this research illuminates the complex interaction between technology, equity, and academic honesty. Furthermore, it demonstrates the intricate interplay that exists among these three components. The study offers explicit guidelines for educational institutions to keep a harmonious equilibrium between ethical conduct and technology advancements in assessment practises. These recommendations are derived from the insights offered in the research.
