Program

Order ISO/IEC 23988:2007 today!Growth in the power and capabilities of information technology (IT) has led to the increasing use of IT to deliver, score and record responses of tests and assessments in a wide range of educational and other contexts.
ISO/IEC 23988:2007 gives recommendations on the use of IT to deliver assessments to candidates and to record and score their responses. Its scope is defined in terms of three dimensions: the types of assessment to which it applies, the stages of the assessment 'lifecycle' to which it applies and its focus on specifically IT aspects.
ISO/IEC 23988:2007 provides a means of:

• Showing that the delivery and scoring of the assessment are fair and do not disadvantage some groups of candidates, for example those who are not IT literate,
• Showing that a summative assessment has been conducted under secure conditions and is the authentic work of the candidate,
• Showing that the validity of the assessment is not compromised by IT delivery,
• Providing evidence of the security of the assessment, which can be presented to regulatory and funding organisations (including regulatory bodies in education and training, in industry or in financial services),
• Establishing a consistent approach to the regulations for delivery, which should be of benefit to assessment centres who deal with more than one assessment distributor,
• Giving an assurance of quality to purchasers of off-the-shelf assessment software.

Key Features and Benefits:

• A best practice guideline of how to hold assessments/exams in an IT environment. Providing a best practice set of guidelines.
• Establishes a best practice framework that enables your organisation to demonstrate to assessment distributors that you conform to a certain set of criteria in the way you deliver assessments.
