%X Abstract—This paper reports on an auto-ethnographic study of the use of  smartphones to facilitate online testing in the context of second-language teacher  education (SLTE). A total of 54 pre-service teachers participated in the  study. Preliminary data were collected through observation and written reflection,  and additional data were gathered from interviews and students’ web activity  logs to enable triangulation. Thematic analysis was carried out on the  qualitative data. The findings show that smartphones are a viable electronic tool  to facilitate online testing in an SLTE context. More importantly, using Moodle  as an online test platform meets both teachers’ and students’ needs with respect  to aspects such as design, test structure and online testing activity. The study also  highlights some benefits and challenges of employing sequential and multiple-  attempt test modes and providing delayed feedback on online tests. The implications  of these findings are discussed, with suggestions for further research  in the field.
