The Measurement and Evaluation Unit at the Faculty of Nursing, Helwan University, is actively engaged in pioneering and enhancing assessment practices. Our key activities include:

• Leading Electronic Examinations: The faculty proudly stands as the first to implement an electronic examination system, setting a benchmark for other institutions.

• Establishing OSCE Labs: We've successfully created and utilized Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) Labs to provide practical, standardized assessments of clinical skills.

• Faculty Training on Question Banks: We regularly conduct training for faculty members on how to develop and manage question banks, often utilizing informative video tutorials to facilitate this process.

• OSCE Item Development and Application: Our unit provides specialized training to faculty on creating and effectively applying OSCE items to ensure robust clinical evaluations.

• Rubric Training for Faculty: We train faculty members on the proper use of rubrics, promoting consistent, fair, and transparent grading practices.

• Automated Exam Paper Generation: In collaboration with the university's Electronic Examinations Center, we've implemented a system that allows for the automated generation of exam papers directly from question banks, enhancing efficiency and security.

• Developing OSCE Lab Handbooks: We've produced comprehensive handbooks for the OSCE Lab for both faculty and students, serving as valuable resources.

• Regular Examination Paper Reviews: To maintain high standards, we conduct periodic reviews of examination paper specifications each semester, involving both internal and external reviewers.
