If almost 10% of learners were impaired by an outdated exam regime, wouldn't you change it?

Read how a UK Medical College is challenging exam owners to change their exam access arrangements that are failing learners.

@ktormreport @tes Blaming learners is a regressive look. Wales Personalised Y2-Y9 Assessments are delivered on-line to the student's own device, and are adaptive. Omitting 'Own Backyard' evidence smacks of poor briefing & weak leadership. Are WJEC already walking back their 2030 digital strategy?

There are stunts for max reach. And there are carefully planned and financed campaigns to hold back assessment progress. Read how the assessment sector needs to re-gain authority and set the agenda.

LMS-delivered exams were cyber-attacked. Using dedicated test software helps, but read how agentic AI skips this step to give more assessment supervision opportunities.

Keep calm and debunk the myths. Read how the digital exam and learner equity debates make many feel like Yesterday's Man. How should the sector bring everyone on the digital journey?

Pity those unwilling to improve assessment equity, access, and fairness via digital. They seek comfort with ‘tech bro’, calligraphy, and nostalgia arguments. Keeping learners with no agency and voice to struggle every day against manuscript martyrs with complexity phobia.

The introduction of on-screen exams could widen attainment gaps between disadvantaged students and their peers, warns @EducEndowFoundn in response to Ofqual consultation

A pity the social media debate is conflated with digital exams assessment. A completely ring-fenced and separate sector, that UK has led for over 25 years.

But he was great in Croupier and Monsieur Spade, so I appreciate his experience and insight of high-stakes environments!

@LauraTrottMP A conversation with Britain's rapidly growing digital assessment industry, successfully exporting for three decades, is sorely needed.

Sad to see the paper exam supporters wheeling out tired, debunked excuses; moaning 'the country can't afford it', while the exam world moved on without England.

[The Observer @ObserverUK]

Up to half of school exams ‘will be on screen within a decade’, says board chief.

Advocates say digital assessments will make the system fairer, but critics fear students will lose writing skills.
