Terms

• Test takers (t.takers) – Employees, clients, trainees, students

• Test – An oral, written or performance-based method of assessing the test taker's

competence, mastery or familiarity with information received through traditional classroom instruction, group activity or self-study using print or electronic resources.

• Test Delivery – Oral, paper-and-pencil or electronic

• Feedback – For those of you who may have only known paper-and-pencil testing, the only

feedback you may have received would have been a letter grade, points and percentage scrawled in red pencil across the top of your test.

– Essays would have notes scribbled along the margins.

– Some of you may have even been fortunate enough to have participated in some form of instructor-led post-test review and remediation

Types of Feedback

• Pre-test Feedback: Login – Your test takers log in to a windows or browser-based test delivery application

(Tester).

• If the login information is incorrect or if you, the test author, have not enabled testing for a specific individual, the testing system should “talk back” to the test taker. – Login feedback: Login error, no tests available, login successful

– Test selection: What does the test taker see following a successful login?

– Introduction: Is the test taker provided with any introductory test information? Can this information be customized by the test author?

• During the Test Feedback – Because you’re now dealing with a whole new set of behaviors, your testing

audience may receive various types of messages as they navigate through the test.
