Abstract
  • Digital education needs to rise together with the emergence of the fourth education revolution in this era. Consequently, higher education institutions are responsible in dealing with the technological advancements to prepare future graduates for work. However, the recent crisis has given another new challenge to the digital education. The challenge is not limited to the tool, device, or technological and application revolutions, but also in using the virtual platform for the assessment of teaching and learning, or known as an e-assessment. Therefore, it is important to address the methodology to analyse the factors of e-assessment model at it is still best to be carried out in the new model while it is valid for most prior models with crisis robustness adaptation in respect with the new normal phase. Therefore, the creation of the new model’s focal criteria includes its aim, methodology, and conceptual pedagogical components.
