I'm at #eAAConf24 on Tuesday - talking digital exams, on-screen delivery, and the 20 year digitisation journey for England's GCSEs.

Nothing crazy about doing school tests on-screen. Scotland, Wales, and over 30 countries already do it.
Best read the report first, you've had a mare @sjk26381 - Sending thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Digital exam tech co's: Here's what you're up against. Educators clinging to sending insecure, clumsy, and time-consuming USBs by post.
Other countries stopped this years ago.
But having a hissy fit on the socials is easier than making your life easier!🤣

Too rude @mathew_lynch44. There's a big world of assessment out there. Shutting out different and better ideas is unhelpful. Shame you can't use your energy to create positive change to help your fellow teachers and learners.

Big education brands across exam owners, schools, policy at #NGA2024.
All want digital, 'un-boring' assessment, with inclusivity and contemporary delivery.
Regulators run risk of conflict, and brands going their own way, if they stick with a 'boring guardianship' line.

'Assessment is just being patched up. Change is needed, ensuring access for everyone'.
Paper-behind-glass digital exams are proven, but is this just 'patching'? Food for thought!

Call the university Personal Statement what it is:
an open book, untimed exam. Without a grading scheme or psychometric underpinning.
If the statement is replaced by new questions, good luck discovering if they've been pre-trialled...and that's even closer to an exam!

Quoting 'Cognitive Science' and 'Look at me, I'm a big CEO of a school' looks incredibly foolish, narcissistic, and ill informed, as the world progresses school digital exams.
But what do I know...I've only done this for a quarter of a century! 🤣

Paper vs digital exam delivery logistics have different risk profiles. Exam owners don't always have the full picture of what their centres can cope with.
Here are 6 risks that paper delivery causes.

Liberating school halls for assembly, worship, PE, art, drama, music, etc is possible, if school exams are moved offsite for digital delivery.
No more worries about internet connectivity, finding laptops, or resting actors as invigilators.

Interesting to compare AQA's primary research study from 1700 students vs the YouGov poll of 2677 adult survey on digital GCSEs.
The direction of travel is to digital, but plenty of hoary myths, tropes, and sneers to overcome.
