Features of Digital Assessment Platforms in Education
Mandatory Features:
Scheduling and delivery platform: Educators can add test takers into the system, organize them into groups and custom-schedule tests based on course requirements. The test engine is the primary interface between the learner and the institution, and can be accessed via learning management systems through integration, single sign-on or other methods.
Accessibility: Improved access to all assessment types for all test takers. This includes compliance with industry-standard specifications, such as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Section 508 in the U.S., that promote accessibility as well as support for exams in multiple languages and scripts.
Authoring tools and question banks: The ability to create question banks of items, typically supported by the use of multimedia, such as images, audio clips and videos. Tests can be put together using items from question banks.
Security/administration: This includes managing users, role assignment, role-based permissions, and access, and adhering to common standards (SOCII).
Grading and publishing: There are usually two options for grading — manual and automated — depending on the question types and the capabilities available in the platform. Results are published either instantly or at a designated time, and exported to other systems, such as a learning management system (LMS) or student information system (SIS), via the requisite integration.
Integration and interoperability: The ability to integrate with systems and tools commonly used in education (for example, LMS, SIS, plagiarism, accessibility or remote proctoring tools). Interoperability facilitates the smooth flow of test content and results data between learning platform, assessment engine and other systems using benchmarks such as 1EdTech’s Question & Test Interoperability.
