What makes a “good” test? Our webinar explores 10 essential questions you should consider when developing your next test or exam

With increasing migration and globalization, multilingual assessments have become a key component of inclusivity and equity in testing. It’s no longer a fair assumption to assume that all test-takers in a specific country speak the main language as their native language.

Fair, reliable and valid assessments contains well-written items that can assess what someone needs to learn before a learning event and, afterwards, measure what they have learned from it.

Skillfully crafted items promote learning and memory recall and can help retain knowledge over time. But writing good items isn’t as easy as it looks.

This webinar provides helpful guidance and tips for people who are are new to item writing, or those who are looking for ideas on coaching subject matter experts (SMEs) on item writing techniques.

Jump blocks allow you to control how a participant proceeds through an assessment depending on what has happened so far. Using jump blocks allows you to make “adaptive” assessments.

Digital badges help motivate employees, candidates and learners, but to do this sustainably, they need credible, valid and reliable foundations, very often a trustworthy assessment.

A sound digital credentialing strategy can benefit organizations and individuals alike. For individuals, digital credentials show verifiable evidence of their skills and achievements on their online professional profile, email footer, or social media. For employers, digital credentials recognize, reward, and communicate the achievements, large or small, of their people and have a range of business benefits. For credentialing and awarding bodies, they can increase the visibility and value of certification programs.

• and by asking the participant questions and storing the responses in special fields​

Our expert trainers dive into how to use special fields and share tips and tricks.​

Observation occurs naturally in our daily living so why not use it in formative assessments. Through observational assessments you can watch learning as it develops where you notice the ways a learner performs, make decisions and take action in moments of confidence and in times of challenge. Taken one step further, timely and specific feedback can be offered. The observer can intervene, re-direct, praise, and reinforce.

In this session, our trainers discuss how to build an observational assessment in the Questionmark platform.​

Considering the myriad of challenges assessment professionals face in managing a successful testing program, it’s easy to understand why accessibility may be approached as an important — but ultimately rote — process of checking compliance and checking a box. This mindset, while understandable, may also lead to missed opportunities.

Committing to accessibility is committing to building better assessments. Indeed, going boldly beyond the guidelines yields more than vital accommodations for the individual test takers who need them, but also results in innovations that improve testing for all stakeholders.

The risk of cyber breaches has only increased, as more employees are working remotely. Employees can be your organization’s greatest security threat, or, if you prepare them for today’s threat landscape, a critical role in supporting your organization’s cyber resilience.

Many organizations rely on standard security awareness to enhance their security posture but often, the training lacks the role-specific security context for employees to understand how what they do impacts them and the organization. So, how do you find that gap between the cybersecurity skills your employees have and those that your employees need?

Questionmark consulting partner, Jim Parry, Owner and Chief Executive Manager of Compass Consultants, LLC discusses the importance of test and test-item analysis.

Tests and exams given in the workplace serve a purpose – they are used to make important decisions. When employees cheat, they devalue that purpose and the integrity of your business suffers. If an employee cheats once, they might cheat on other things. This can lead to regulatory fines, further diminishing the integrity of your business.

Globalization and innovative web technologies have removed geographic boundaries and opened new opportunities for awarding bodies, technology certification programs and credentialing organizations. However, with these opportunities come new challenges: How do you localize items and assessments so they will reliably measure knowledge, skills and abilities across multiple languages and cultures?
