Part II-‐The move to Electronic Testing Electronic Tes-ng has been a part of the Na-onal Council Licensing Exam (NCLEX-‐RN) Since 1994
15
Reasons to move to Electronic Testing
• Increase student comfort with electronic tes-ng format • Increased Test Security • Ability to create Na-onal Council Licensing Examina-on test ques-on Formats (NCLEX )
• Students receive their scores instantly • Decrease use of paper • Faculty spend less -me scoring exams • Easy to adjust scoring • Ability to simulate NCLEX tes-ng environment
16
School of Nursing Priorities • Ability to create NCLEX Type Ques-ons • Detailed Item Analysis • Student Performance Analysis • Test Security • Test Blueprin-ng that provides ac-onable informa-on (Accredita-on, program)
17
Ability to create NCLEX Type Questions The Na-onal Council Licensing Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-‐RN) ques-on types:
• Mul-ple Choice • Mul-ple Response • Order Response • Hot spot • Fill in the Blank • Chart/Exhibit Items • Graphic Item • Audio Item
18
Detailed Item Analysis • Mean, median, mode – Exam Difficulty • KR20-‐ Exam Reliability • PBCC-‐ (Point Biserial Correla-on Coefficient) differen-ates high performing from low performing students
• P Value – Item Difficulty
19
Student Performance Analysis • Exam Score Available at end of exam • Immediate feedback on Performance • Ability to Assess student performance on learning Outcomes • Iden-fica-on of Student Strengths and areas in need of Improvement
20
Test Security • Disabled Camera
• Browser disabled
• No Internet access during exams
• Inability to leave test environment
• Capacity to track student keystrokes while tes-ng
21
Test Blueprinting that provides actionable information (Accreditation, Program) • Objec-ves • Taxonomy • Nursing Process • Quality and Safety Educa-on in Nursing (QSEN) • NCLEX Test Plan
22
Decision Making Process Choices
• Learning Management System (LMS) PlaKorm • Scantron Based • Server Based Sohware
23
Decision Making Process LMS Platform
PRO
• No Extra Cost • Immediate scoring of Exam • Ease of rescoring Exams • Mul-ple ques-on formats • Link revised ques-ons to trace performance
• Easily add “extra -me’ when neded
• Ques-ons can be aligned with Learning Objec-ves
• Server Based
CONS
• Item Analysis likle detail • No KR20 • No Point BiSerial

24
Scantron Based
PRO • Affordable • Test can be Paper & Pen or on-‐line
• Immediate availability of results when tes-ng on-‐line
• No licensing (no limita-on)
• Detailed Item Analysis
CON • Installed on school Server
• Not out yet await launch date
• Limited student performance analysis
• Unable to analyze program Performance
25
Server Based Software
PRO
• Server Based • Detailed Student performance Analysis
CON
• Limited Ques-on Format • Limited item Analysis • Limited Program Analysis • Inability to trend data for accredita-on purposes
• Limited

The Decision LMS Tes-ng PlaKorm
27
A Change of Mind The Move to ExamSoh
Ø Recommenda-ons from other schools of Nursing
Ø Ability to give student’s detailed informa-on Ø High level of security Ø Detailed analysis (program, student, item, accredita-on)
Ø Item banking with historical informa-on Ø High level of Test Security 28
Planning for Electronic Testing • Lap Tops vs Chromebooks vs iPads
Ø Learning Curve Ø Compa-bility with applica-ons presently used Ø Price Ø U-lity
29
Hardware Considerations • Portability • U-lity • Compa-bility with other sohware used by school • Cost Effec-veness
30
The Choice
31
Planning for Electronic Testing Faculty Tes-ng Commikee • Determine Policy
Ø Student Orienta-on Ø Faculty Orienta-on
• Exam Development & Administra-on • Standard Test Blueprint • Determine approach to Item wri-ng
Ø Ques-on approval process
32
Policies Instituted to Decrease Cheating • One Instructor proctor for every 25 students tested
• School provides Scrap paper Ø Scrap paper collected aher each exam
Ø Color of scrap paper changed for each exam
• School provides Pencil • No Calculators needed • Bathroom break during exam
• Exam Password protected • Different password to resume exam 33
