Description
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, conducting assessment remotely has become a new way of working. The technology and range of assessments tools available for online assessment are now such that this method of diagnostic assessment, when carried out robustly, can be a viable alternative to an in-person assessment.
Lia has carried out a great number of remote online assessments and will share the knowledge and experience she has gained. This method of assessment can enable diagnostic assessors to work in a more flexible way and to assess over a wider geographical area. However, there are important considerations that need to be addressed to ensure best practice in assessment and valid and reliable outcomes.
The session will include:
- An overview of the SASC guidance regarding remote assessment
- An exploration of the technological requirements for the assessor and assessee
- The role of the facilitator and when one is needed
- Creating an appropriate testing environment
- The tests available and how to use them in an online assessment
- Establishing a protocol for testing, including gaining appropriate permissions and working in a data compliant way

- Using technology in a remote assessment
