Technology-Based Assessment Committee

The purposes of the Guidelines for Technology-Based Assessment are to provide information about the key factors and issues to consider when designing, delivering, and scoring tests via digital platforms and to provide guidance to test developers, test administrators, and test users on how best to ensure fair and valid assessment in a digital environment. The goal of these Guidelines is to promote best practices in test development, administration, and scoring to facilitate fair and valid measurement of the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) targeted by contemporary assessments used by professionals around the world. As a guidelines document, the purpose is not to specify mandatory practices but rather to inform users about issues and considerations in applying technology- based assessment (TBA). The purpose of the TBA Guidelines Committee is to continually foster conversations around the use of these Guidelines and to ensure that the Guidelines are updated on a periodic basis so as to keep them meaningful and relevant. This work is done through the creation of blogs, educational sessions, periodic reviews and the creation of dialogue opportunities. For more information visit the ITC/ATP TBA Committee webpage
