This study explores the impact of digital assessments, specifically YouTube video creation, on student motivation, peer learning, and group dynamics in a higher education context. Conducted among 55 undergraduate students in Computer Science, the research uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the effects of collaborative digital assessments. The findings indicate that digital assessments significantly enhance peer learning and motivation, leading to better group dynamics. Students reported increased motivation to learn and share knowledge, and they successfully engaged in addressing group dynamics issues. The study also highlights the importance of communication, consistent interaction, setting clear work boundaries, and cooperation in resolving interpersonal conflicts. The results suggest that digital assessments can foster a more engaging and effective learning environment, particularly in the Indian higher education context. However, the small sample size limits generalizability, and further research is needed to replicate these findings in other disciplines.This study explores the impact of digital assessments, specifically YouTube video creation, on student motivation, peer learning, and group dynamics in a higher education context.
