Abstract

Choosing whether to test via computer is the most difficult and consequential decision the designers of a testing program can make. The decision is difficult because of the wide range of choices available. Designers can choose where and how often the test is made available, how the test items look and function, how those items are combined into test forms, and how those forms produce scores. The decision is consequential because it can impact every aspect of the testing process, from item development and test assembly, through test delivery and response collection, to the scoring and reporting of results.
