Caveon Co-Hosts First-Ever Industry Event Focused on Test Security
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) October 13, 2014 -- Last week, Caveon Test Security teamed up with ACT, the University of Wisconsin Center for Placement Testing, and the University of Kansas Center for Educational Testing & Evaluation to bring together a gathering of industry experts with a common focus – the need for quality assessments and trustworthy test results. This groundbreaking event set the stage for all types of educational, certification, and licensure programs to better protect the validity of their test results, as well as their brand integrity.
Expert industry leaders presented on a variety of test-security topics including using statistics to detect potential test fraud and their practical application, the various test security tools and methods for protecting the validity of testing results, developing or improving an organization’s test security program, and the ever-changing threats to exam security that the industry is facing.
As attendee Christy Frederes, Manager, Test Security, Ascend Learning stated, “The sessions offered at this year’s COTS spanned so many topics for Test Security operations, from building a test security plan to investigation techniques and auditing test center plans. All were so informative with practical steps to help implement or add to your own processes and practices. An invaluable experience!”
One big announcement that occurred during the Conference was the upcoming release of the Certified Exam Security Professional Certification Program, the first-ever accreditation program for people charged with protecting the validity of exams in their organizations. The program will launch in early 2015, and will be administered by the Institute for Exam Security, a 501c3 organization.
