Exam Security Cliff Notes - Schoenig, Grochwalski, & Ragsdale #COTS2019 How to present your data matters!

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

Such a great panel presentation on ”Data Forensics” by Walt Drane and Steve Addicott from @Caveon, Craig Walker @oksde, Michael Martin @MissDeptEd, and Tamara Lewis @MdPublicSchools at @COTS2019 #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

Steve Addicott @Caveon on procedures and policies for data forensics: ”If your privacy isn't ready for data forensics, don't ever use it”. #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

From the Data Forensics panel presentation: Most of the states are using data forensics results to back up their feelings for further investigations in a school district. #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

Walt Drane @Caveon: ”Each statistic is a flashlight, as the number of flashlights increases in one school, we know that we should raise questions about this school”. #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

But, can we detect cheating by data forensics?
Steve Addicott said no to that: “Data forensics can't detect cheating, it gives us a red flag about something abnormal going on”. #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

@ragsdale @MASchoolsK12 answering my question about the best practices for validating my classroom observations: ”In order to validate your observations; try to visit more schools, sit longer in the classroom, and go in/out the class”. #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

@dustyshockley said that they @DEDeptofEd created some videos for students about test security, you may find one of them here: https://t.co/gHznCApj86 #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

Both John Olson and @TestSecurityGuy @Caveon agreed on the importance of the documentation: ”It is evidence to pass the peer review, it is incredibly important!”. #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

At the end, the attendees agreed that using cellphones from both students and teachers in the classroom is a huge problem in schools. #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

@cengizzopluoglu @umiamiSEHD showed us how losing control for only 3 minutes would highly affect the exam’s results by the Graph Theory Approach (to Detect Test Collusion Network). #COTS2019

[Dr. Nasser Hasan @NasserNHasan]

@muratkasli @umiamiSEHD showed us a Deterministic Gated Lognormal Response Time Model to identify examinees with item preknowledge using both raw item responses and response time information. #COTS2019

[Caveon Test Security @Caveon]

Another great takeaway from this session by @dustyshockley, @DEDeptofEd: "Increase in reported incidents? Good! Your #testsecurity is working." @COTS2019 #COTS2019 #CaveonatCOTS
