Drawing on a sample of 63 fourth year B.Ed. students in Bahrain, the study combines quantitative and qualitative methodologies to assess student perceptions about the utility and effectiveness of ZipGrade.

The findings reveal a predominantly positive reception of ZipGrade among students, highlighting its ease of use, immediate feedback provision, and potential to more effectively engage learners in the assessment process. Challenges such as the necessity to physically print answer sheets, a predisposition towards multiple-choice questions, and infrastructural and policy-related barriers were identified, suggesting areas for further development and support.  \nKeywords: digital assessment, education quality, student feedback, teaching effectiveness, ZipGrade  \nRésumé  \nCette étude descriptive examine l’efficacité de ZipGrade, un outil d’évaluation numérique, dans le contexte des évaluations formatives en classe, en se concentrant sur son déploiement pour les questionnaires à choix multiples. Cette recherche contribue au dialogue sur l’intégration des technologies de l’information et de la communication pour promouvoir une éducation de qualité et combler les lacunes de la littérature concernant la transmission d’une rétroaction immédiate afind’améliorer les résultats de l’apprentissage. Utilisant un échantillon de 63 personnes étudiantes de quatrième année du B.Éd. à Bahreïn, l’étude combine des méthodologies quantitatives et qualitatives  \nCJLT/RCAT Vol. 50 (2)  \npour évaluer les perceptions des personnes étudiantes sur l’utilité et l’efficacité de ZipGrade. Les données ont été collectées à l’aide d’un questionnaire semi-structuré après l’administration d’une série de tests formatifs sur des segments du cours sélectionnés. Les résultats révèlent un accueil majoritairement positif de ZipGrade parmi les personnes étudiantes, soulignant sa facilité d’utilisation, sa capacité à fournir une rétroaction immédiate et son potentiel à impliquer les personnes étudiantes de manière plus efficace dans le processus d’évaluation. Des défis tels que la nécessité d’imprimer physiquement les feuilles de réponses, une prédisposition envers les questionnaires à choix multiple, et des barrières liées à l'infrastructure et à la politique ont été identifiés, suggérant des éléments pouvant être développés et soutenus davantage dans le futur.  \nMots-clés : évaluation numérique, qualité de l’éducation, rétroaction des personnes étudiantes, efficacité de l’enseignement, ZipGrade  \nIntroduction  \nUsing digital technology for teaching and learning has become necessary, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. Through several studies (Henderson et al., 2015; Muslu, 2017; Perrotta, 2013; Prensky, 2001), the efficacy of digital tools and applications has been established in terms of knowledge retention, independent learning, collaboration, and for learning life skills.
