It's not even a matter of adaptation in some cases. Written tests have been around for a long time, even during the era of word processors and computers. Whether instructors wanted to use has been a matter of pedagogy. Some of my philosophy exams 20+ years ago were written tests. You were given about twice as much time as you needed to write your arguments, which was fair to the slowest students. My CS courses for C programming were all written tests. You were expected to know the basic control structures and the standard libraries well enough to do this. To be fair, this was before Blackboard and other learning management systems, but there's no reason we can't go back to this system across the board.
