The use of information and communication technologies and the number of users are increasing day by day. One of the fields in which these technologies are extensively used is education. The use of information and communication technologies in education leads to differentiation of learning and teaching processes. Initially used for support purposes in the lessons, it was seen that these technologies have recently been used in all stages of educational activities. Digital technologies have started to undertake a crucial role in the assessment and evaluation stage which has a significant place in the education process. assessment and evaluation allows the correction of deficiencies by revealing whether the elements within the education system have improved. The extent to which the student has gained educational attainments and the effectiveness of the methods and techniques can be learned through assessment and evaluation. Thus, it’s important to correctly make assessment and evaluation in education. Another important element assessment and evaluation is the feedback. It is only through a good assessment that the student can see his / her own strengths and weaknesses, and teacher can make realistic assessments on the basis of students, class and subject. However, it is time consuming to do this with assessments made in a classical paper environment. In this respect, information and communication technologies provide important opportunities in the assessment and evaluation stages. Assessment and evaluation process using information and communication technologies is defined as electronic assessment or eassessment. To determine how far the set goals have been achieved, Information and communication technologies provide important advantages by bridging the learning-teaching process and the assessment process. E- assessment, one of the expressions used for distance education, enables the assessment and evaluation process to be performed more effectively in the places where formal education is carried out today. As well as instant assessment and evaluation tools such as Kahoot and Socrative that can be used in the classroom, There are tools that can be integrated into learning management systems and provide alternative assessment. Realization of assessment and evaluation in electronic environment enables the process to be completed in a much shorter time. At the same time, the realization of the measurement and evaluation activity in electronic environment brings many ease for both students and teachers. Moreover, both teachers and students can have access to much more detailed reports. In spite of these advantages provided by e- assessment tools, the implementation of assessment and evaluation with digital technologies brings about some concerns. In this respect, determination of possible problems that may be encountered in e- assessment and evaluation is worthy. In this context, the aim of the present study is to examine the opinions of prospective IT teachers about the use of e-assessment and emeasurement. The research was carried out with 14 prospective IT teachers attending the “Web Assessment and Evaluation ” course in the Deparment of Computer Education and Instructional Technology of Siirt University in academic year. During the research process, different assessment and evaluation tools were used at two-week intervals and the opinions of the prospective teachers about the application and the process were elicited. The research continued for twelve weeks. Content analysis method was used in the research which was planned qualitatively. Data related to the application was obtained after each assessment application, and general opinions about e- assessment and evaluation were obtained through focus group interviews at the end of the term. Content analysis was used for data analysis. As a result of the research, positive opinions were obtained that e-assessment was useful at the point of giving feedback, that the assessment and evaluation tools were guiding for students and teachers in providing reports on question, students and class levels, and that it allows assessment to be carried out instantly. In addition, some problems caused by power failure, disconnection of internet and application itself were identified in the applications and it was concluded that there are still limitations for eassessment and evaluation.
