The COVID-19 outbreak has led to lockdown of cities and restricted access to university campuses, and hence face-to-face delivery of education has been disrupted worldwide. In order to continue teaching, learning and assessment activities, academic institutions have embarked on online delivery and assessments using technology. Online open book examination is one of the tools considered during the crisis period to ensure that students' progression in the academic programmes and graduation are not delayed. Its use is supported by literature evidences that show promotion of critical thinking and problem solving skills amongst students. The positive findings from our previous study on the impact of open book examinations on student performance and learning approach have encouraged us to implement online open book examinations in various health professional programmes in our institution during the COVID-19 pandemic. While some successful progress has been made, there are areas that need further exploration to provide detailed insights on the practice and effectiveness of remote online open book examinations. The objective of this paper is to share the practical tips for implementing online open book examinations remotely, in order to ensure the validity, reliability and fairness of the examinations.

Introduction: There are limited data regarding the associations between public transportation reliance, availability, and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU)-related amputations.
