  • Abstract
    Can we improve the examination process, making it more enjoyable and increasing perceived learning? The participatory exam process provides opportunities for students to learn from creating, reading, answering and grading exam questions. An online asynchronous learning network system facilitates the process. This paper presents the process framework, our research model and experimental results. A majority of students preferred the participatory exam and believed that it increased their learning.
