Change from paper to online
Advantages
• New ways to present items– audio– large print– filters – ASL, Braille, embossing
printers
• Expanded response modes– Input devices/keyboards– Interaction/engagement– Electronic supports
• Ability to standardize accommodations
Issues
• Innovative item types may not be universal
• Controversy over some tools
• Plethora of solutions causes high volume and complexity

Comfort levels change
• Used to be controversial– Electronic calculators– Keyboards– Spellcheck
• Still controversial– Not requiring decoding in reading– Translations

Accommodations available only to those who need them
Not controversial
Controversial

Making tests adaptive
• Components– Test blueprint
– Item Pool
– Algorithm

Advantages
• More precise scores, particularly for high and low performers
• Better information for growth models
• Student experience is more engaging– Questions are at an
appropriate level
Issues
• Enormous item pools, limited budgets. Need to prioritize
• Legal framework– Does every item need to
be available in every mode?
– Are translations all or none?
• Belief that students will not show skills
