Experiences with Computer-Based Testing (CBT)

Delivery of affordable, secure, and scalable assessments is an essential component of large university courses, whether online or in-person. The transition to Computer-Based Testing (CBT) has a transformational effect on pedagogy. Modern CBT systems provide almost unlimited flexibility in the types of questions they can support for manual grading and autograding. In this BoF, faculty interested in learning about various components of CBT and how to implement it at their institution are invited to ask their questions and learn from others who have already done this. To facilitate these discussions, in this BOF we will break into four smaller groups to discuss CBT pedagogy, building and sharing question banks, technical or logistical considerations, and building buy-in from all levels of the institution.
