  • All industries have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and have worked to develop alternative strategies and actions to survive and continue business operations; the education sector is no exception.

It advocates the adoption of PBL by highlighting the challenges/pitfalls associated with online exams supported by proctoring software tools.
