Location: Le Royal Hotel in Dbayeh, Lebanon
The conference will address the following issues:
- What are electronic assessment platforms, and what functions do they serve in education?
- How such platforms are deployed in the construction of item banks, and what are these banks good for?
- How do electronic platforms and item banks contribute to authentic assessment and meaningful learning?
- What factors govern the efficiency of platforms and banks?
Paul Howarth, Managing Director Pearson VUE EMEA will be a keynote speaker at the event presenting on The Opportunities and Challenges faced in utilising e-based assessment.
Taking your assessment to an e-based format is more than simply sitting a candidate down in front of a PC and hoping they know how to switch it on. Before you even switch on that PC it is imperative that your test items are written to produce a fair and equitable test, that the environment in which your candidates take their tests is secure and invigilated appropriately and that the results can be delivered in your timescale.
This presentation will share with you the in-depth of experience of Pearson VUE as The Leader in Computer-Based Testing (CBT) highlighting all the elements that make up computer-based testing, the challenges the organisations face and the opportunities that await those that successfully ride the CBT wave. Pearson VUE delivers the largest CBT test in the world in the form of the UK’s Driving Licence as well as 7 million test for over 320 organisations globally, so this presentation would definitely gives you the inside view on what works and what doesn’t.
