This article describes the 2022 "ITC/ATP Guidelines for Technology-Based Assessment" (TBA), a collaborative effort by the International Test Commission (ITC) and the Association of Test Publishers (ATP) to address digital assessment challenges. Developed by over 100 global experts, these "Guidelines" emphasize fairness,…

Manual composition of tasks and exams is a challenging and time-consuming task. Especially when exams are taken remotely without the personal monitoring by examiners, most exams can easily lose their integrity with the use of previously done exercises or student communication. This research introduces an approach that incorporates the principles…

Purpose: This study aims to develop a model for readiness measurement and to study readiness levels for online testing of undergraduate students in Thailand's distance education programs. Design/methodology/approach: In total, 870 undergraduate students enrolled in the 2022 academic year of a Thai university were sampled for the study. The samples…

The replacement of existing technology or the introduction of novel technology into the day-to-day routines of higher education institutions is not a trivial task. Currently, many higher education institutions are faced with the challenge of replacing existing procedures for administering written exams with e-exams. To guide this process, this…

Remote or online proctoring (invigilating) is a technology primarily used to improve the integrity of online examinations. The use of remote proctoring increased significantly as the world switched to online assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote proctoring received negative media attention, including concerns about user privacy,…

Background: Over the last 20 years, educational large-scale assessments have undergone dramatic changes moving away from simple paper-pencil assessments to innovative, technology-based assessments.
