For almost 5 years I, Ralf Spiering, have been working in the world of digital testing. As a Senior Business Consultant at Optimum Assessment, I help clients purchase our software and thereby improve digital testing. In this role, I find myself on the dividing line between our product and service offerings on the one hand, and customer needs on the other. In this force field, I always look for the optimal solution for all parties.
In the testing world, terms such as “reliability” and “quality” are important concepts. Thereby, this world has a somewhat old-fashioned and dusty image. However, in my experience, this image is not consistent with the opportunities available in digital testing. After an initial phase in which the vast majority of tests moved from paper to digital, we are now in a phase in which the diverse capabilities and functionalities of testing software play a greater role. An innovative software environment that only enhances the desired reliability and quality of the tests. Consider, for example, content. Are you using (the 18) different question types to set up your exam? Or to proctoring options such as taking a test entirely at home, known as online proctoring. Moreover, there are numerous ways to further improve your digital testing process.
In my experience, one of the most important factors in digital testing is final certification. What is the actual value of a passed exam? For example, tests are regulated by law. Think of certificates that must be obtained in order to do your job properly or be allowed to perform it at all. Serious matters where the testing software must fully and above all securely facilitate the high-stakes exams in question. Then utilizing all the available features of that testing software to achieve the ultimate testing experience is step 2.
In addition to ensuring the quality of the test, I think it is important that the software offers various options and thus can be flexibly shaped by the user. At Citrus Andriessen, one of our current focuses is the further development of Optimum Editor. This module develops the core of the test. An integrated workflow ensures optimal efficiency. All information is secure, interaction between different user roles is facilitated and ultimately a complete test can be compiled. Convenience, without sacrificing quality and safety!
