      ab: Online assessment, as a key construct, has garnered a prominent place in the educational arena. The paper examines online assessments in an EFL context, focusing on the adaptations involved in developing new assessment tasks for English literature courses while transitioning from a traditional classroom-based platform to an online teaching-learning platform during the Covid-19 pandemic. Designing assessment tasks derived from educators' practical teaching experiences in new learning environments requires innovative changes in pedagogy. The present paper highlights adaptations that emerged in response to critical challenges and explores the new assessment strategies improvised at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU) in Saudi Arabia during the pandemic.
