Our heads Shouldn’t be in the Cloud but Perhaps Our Tests Should be: Performance-Based Testing and Online Proctoring
Practice Area Division(s): Certification/Licensure, Workforce Skills Credentialing, Industrial Organization, Education, Clinical
Topic: Program Design
Launching a global certification merging both performance testing and remote proctoring has the potential to reach an immense market. In this session we’ll hear from a leading information technology certification organization on why they chose to launch a performance-based exam proctored on-line as opposed to a traditional multiple choice in a testing center.
Advances in cloud computing have made developing a sophisticated performance-based exam economical and less of a security risk; there is no item compromise or loss, they are unique and destroyed after scoring. Paired with real-time online live proctoring, this testing model has the potential to not only more accurately assess candidate knowledge, skill, and ability, but also provide an increased level of convenience and stress reduction for testing candidates.
We’ll discuss the driving factors for this type of exam development, implementation, and launch.
