Abstract :
An online upper division undergraduate MIS course has been designed and delivered over consecutive five semesters to a sample of over 200 students. The same course was also delivered in a Web-enhanced version (paperless course with regular classroom lectures). This paper reports on a study, which attempts to answer numerous questions regarding impact of an e-learning format on quality of educational experience. Specifically, in this part of the study we try to find out whether online testing with an open book format is compromising integrity of assessment in e-learning by encouraging cheating among students, and what is the difference in online testing and assessment between students in Web based (fully online) class versus Web enhanced class
