Online assessment is demonstrating tremendous potential as a tool to expand access and streamline the experience for test-takers but there is confusion about security & appropriate applications of online proctoring.Дuring this session, a panel of assessment experts from a variety of backgrounds will present the findings from their research that explored various comparisons between exams & programs using online proctoring versus test center proctoring in order to help attendees decide the right modality to apply for each. Tony Zara, Pearson VUE Isabelle Gonthier, Yardstick-ProctorU Rachel Schoenig, Cornerstone Strategies LLC Bill West, Examity Session Description: Online Proctoring and test center equivalence and consideration: A comprehensive look We will share our experiences in providing more inclusive options for our test sponsors to make available to their candidates. In this Peas in a Pod session, we will facilitate a discussion about best practices and innovations in this important area of assessment.

Our objective is to discuss challenges and successes in making certification more accessible to candidates with a wide variety of backgrounds and needs. It also involves reaching those with cognitive disorders, including a neurodiverse population, and everything in between. Inclusivity encompasses many facets of test delivery, including affordability, use of language in content development, availability of exams in language of origin, and ability to use assistive technologies. In order to meet the needs of a diverse demographic of test-takers, assessments need to become more accessible and more inclusive.

Inclusivity in assessment: Best practices and industry standardsДavid Bennett, Pearson VUE Julie Gleason, Pearson VUE Session Description: This session covers one programвЂ™s transition from LFF to a pool-based design with a real-data comparison of two different pool-based designs. Though it is not possible to use a pool-based design with every exam program, this session challenges the audience to think critically about whether such a test design might be a better fit for their exam program than LFF. Pool-based test designs are alternatives that mitigate some drawbacks of LFF designs. However, to ensure reasonable examinee accessibility to test scheduling, many programs require on-demand testing where examinees can take the exam at their convenience.ДЇurthermore, the recent COVID epidemic has led to more use of online proctored test delivery. Many testing programs use a linear fixed-form test design, but this design can be vulnerable to test-security threats and is therefore best suited for exams that are administered in a short testing event at a secure test center. Jennifer Davis, Pearson VUE Bhaskar Dawadi, ISC(2) Session Description: What kind of mistakes and how many no one but the testing agency knows.Diving into a pool-based test design: Considerations for adopting CAT or LOFT You can make some mistakes and still pass your test. Remember, you do not have to perform all the skills perfectly to pass. You can only correct ONE mistake in each skill. If you make another mistake after that just keep on going. This is the ONLY time she can talk to you and answer a question. She will tell you is she wants you to continue with your skill on the step you are on OR if she wants you to go back to the step you made the mistake on and go from there. If you make a mistake in a skill tell the Evaluator ' I made a mistake' she will ask you what the mistake was. Complete that skill and ask what the next skill is, etc. If the Evaluator tells you the 5 skills orally don't panic, just go wash your hands (Handwashing is everyone's first skill) then you are allowed to ask her what your next skill is. The Evaluator will give you a written list of the skills that you can refer too after you finish each skill.

You have 25 minutes (in most states, check your CNA handbook to be sure it is the same in your state) to complete the 5 skills.
