    Teachers can design online tests that encourage critical thinking by focusing on application-based and scenario-driven questions rather than simple memorization. With online examination software, instructors can create case studies, problem-solving tasks, and open-ended questions that challenge students to analyze and evaluate information. Randomizing questions and answers ensures fairness and reduces chances of guessing. Teachers can also include multimedia resources like charts, videos, or datasets for deeper analysis. Allowing short essay-type responses promotes reasoning and argumentation. In this way, online assessments become a tool for learning rather than just testing.
