One innovative example of computer-mediated assessment is the Computer-Mediated Assessment of Higher-Order Thinking (HOT) Development, designed to evaluate and enhance students' higher-order thinking skills, such as analysis, evaluation, and creation, through problem-based learning (PBL). This approach employs a Problem-Based Learning model, where students engage in self-directed learning to tackle real-world problems, aided by a Computer Assessment Tool (CAT) that facilitates the assessment process by adapting to the student's learning journey, offering personalized feedback and adjusting task difficulty according to the student's progress.

The process encompasses problem identification, idea generation, information gathering, and problem-solving, culminating in an assessment that evaluates the student's performance, providing immediate feedback, and tailoring future tasks to the student's needs. The strengths of this method include:

• Personalized learning that promotes continuous growth.
• Development of critical skills essential for real-world problem-solving.
• Engaging and relevant learning experiences.
• The provision of immediate feedback.

However, it faces challenges such as being resource-intensive, potential technical disruptions, the need for student preparation for self-directed learning, and subjectivity in problem selection and evaluation. Despite these challenges, the Computer-Mediated Assessment of HOT Development marks a significant advancement in educational assessment, offering a more personalized and engaging learning experience. Nonetheless, it requires careful implementation and support to overcome its inherent weaknesses.
