FAQ: Online Assessment and Psychometrics
It’s not easy to build and deliver a high-quality exam. It requires extensive experience, a team of psychometricians, and software designed specifically to manage best practices like item response theory. New to all this? Here’s some FAQ.
Online assessment platforms are enterprise software systems designed to manage large-scale and high-stakes examinations for organizations where this is a core part of what they do. Examples are a civil service selection department that exists to administer pre-employment exams or a certification board that exists to deliver certification exams. The software is designed with advanced functionality necessary for these organizations, including item banking, complex test construction, and modern psychometrics like adaptive testing.
Item banking is the process of developing, reviewing, and managing large pools of items. A professionally-managed exam will have a pool of items which are frequently rotated, with needs to track metadata such as statistics. It’s also often required to have a workflow management module to ensure all items are reviewed, and user management with roles and content-based access, such as ensuring Math item writers only see the Math bank and can only write new items.
Item response theory is the modern psychometric paradigm, used for developing, analyzing, and validating most of the large-scale and important assessments in the world. It utilizes a machine learning approach which provides a number of advantages, including more accurate scores, stronger equating, and adaptive testing.
Psychometric consulting is the necessary work to develop high-quality exams that meet international standards such as AERA/APA/NCME or NCCA. These require complex studies like Job Task Analysis or machine-learning analytics like item response theory. If you don’t have a psychometrician in-house, you will need to hire consultants.
Remote proctoring is a way to ensure the validity and integrity of your test without forcing examinees to drive to a physical testing center. There is actually a range of options pertaining to levels of security, from low-security exams that just record video with AI flagging to high-security exams where the computer is locked down and there are two video streams watched by a live person in real time.
Adaptive testing uses IRT to personalize the exam for every student, candidate, or examinee. It typically refers to tests that adapt after every item while multistage testing adapts in blocks of items. This personalized assessment paradigm makes tests more accurate, more engaging, and more secure.
