Abstract
This study aims to examine short videos as an alternative medium for assessing students' English presentation skills during distance lectures, and how other platforms can be synergized in supporting the assessment. This study uses a Design-Based Research approach conducted by assigning English presentations presented in short videos to 105 art students in English subject. The assessment was guided by the IELTS Speaking Band Descriptor and Student Assessment Rubric. The research results reveal that short videos presented potential opportunity to be used as an assessment medium. All competency indicators contained in the guidelines can be observed through the video as long as it contains no audio-visual noises and the presenter shows himself clearly in front of the camera when presenting. In addition, the synergyzing Google Classroom can facilitate the delivery, organization, and repository of assignment material, while Zoom Video Conference can be used by lecturers as a practical alternative medium for recording lecture presentations and assignments. The assignments have also allowed students to hone their confidence in doing public speaking, increase technological literacy, and stimulate their creativity in presenting videos as a work worthy of appreciation rather than just a task.
