Collaborative online examination            Kathleen E. Norman, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT In small classes with many opportunities for direct interaction, a Learning Management System is often used principally as a repository for course notes. This case study describes observations of providing the option to master’s level physical therapy students of completing a final written examination entirely online after most of the course had been conducted using face-to-face lectures, demonstrations and laboratory sessions to develop clinical skills. The ways in which an online examination format creates both opportunities and threats are explored.
