Preverjanje in ocenjevanje znanja, ki poteka v spletnih medijih, dviguje učinkovitost modelov spletno podprtega študija na daljavo. V Dobinih javno veljavnih programih, ki so bili primarno oblikovani za tradicionalni, kontaktni način izvajanja, želimo pri študiju na daljavo način preverjanja in ocenjevanja prilagoditi spletnemu mediju in s tem doseči pedagoško konsistentnost med študijskim procesom, ki je spletno podprt. V preverjanje in ocenjevanje znanja smo tako vključili namizno videokonferenco (NVK). Za preizkus ustreznosti in učinkovitosti novega načina ocenjevanja smo izbrali tuji jezik, in sicer angleščino, kjer je poleg pisnega obvezen tudi ustni izpit. Namen raziskave je bil preučiti uporabo NVK za ustne izpite, in sicer učinek tehnologije na pedagoški koncept preverjanja in ocenjevanja, njen vpliv na čustveno stanje študentov v primerjavi z doslej uporabljenim načinom ustnega preverjanja znanja v obliki kontaktnega srečanja. Raziskava je pokazala, da lahko s pomočjo NVK ustne izpite uspešno prenesemo v spletni medij – ob upoštevanju splošnih navodil za uporabo NVK in ustreznem usposabljanju izpraševalcev. Študenti samega medija ne dojemajo kot moteč ali odtujitveni element, ampak kot naravni del spletno podprtega študijskega procesa. V prihodnje bomo na Dobi nadgradili in razširili koncept izvajanja ustnih izpitov z NVK, tudi ob uporabi zmogljivejše in hkrati stroškovno ugodne tehnologije.

Abstract
Assessment in online media increases the effectiveness of online study models. Doba's intention is to adapt assessment to online media also in accredited study programmes, which were primarily designed for implementation in traditional, face-to-face mode in order to achieve pedagogical consistency of the study process, which is web-based and its assessment. Following that orientation desktop video conferencing (DVC) was included. In order to test efficiency and effectiveness of such assessment methods, a foreign language course was chosen, where both the written and oral exam is mandatory. The purpose of the research was to explore the use of DVC for oral examination, i.e. to effect on pedagogical concept of the assessment and on emotional state of students in comparison with the established assessment in a form of contact meeting. The research results showed that DVC is an appropriate way to transfer oral exams into an online medium by taking into account general guidelines for the use of DVC and appropriate training of the examiners. The students do not perceive the medium as a possible distracter or alienating element, but as an integral part of online study process. In the future Doba tends to upgrade and expand the concept of on-line oral examination, also by using more sophisticated and at the same time cost-effective technology.
