Session Summary

72.016 - Innovations in Computerized Test Designs and Implementations

Mon, May 1, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: River Level, Room 7A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Computerized tests can be summarized into four major types: fixed linear, linear-on-the-fly, multistage, and item-by-item adaptive tests, shown in order from the least efficient to the most efficient designs. Careful planning and innovation are continually required to implement more advanced designs or a hybrid of them in order to optimize the benefits of a testing program. This symposium includes four presentations. Some will illustrate the creative applications and modifications of test designs and others will showcase the innovations seen using a hybrid approach, which takes advantage of two designs to address the special needs of testing programs. All the presenters are experienced senior psychometricians, speaking from their own practice.
