GCSE's to be sat online?

Apparently 4 subjects ( Geography, Physics, Biology and Chemistry) have been tested in 20 schools and its been successful to an extent that the Examination board have fully backed the project. Online exams could be 2 years away.

What do you think about this idea? It seems that soon there will be no need for pens.

While this may ease administration worries I'm undecided as to whether it carries any other benefits.

According to the article this form of examination is believed to be more popular with students who are less academic.

unless the test website is the only site available to the kids i think i would be an ace idea, because there would be no mistake on spellings and formations of letters

if not then it encourages cheating
