About Our Sessions:

Accessibility and Assessments: The CEO Perspective
Monday, March 13th from 9:55 AM – 10:45 AM CST

Testing is a gateway to life-changing chances for people in work and educational settings, so ensuring that assessments are accessible to those with disabilities or those who need accommodations is an important part of the assessment community’s work. But often, when we talk about accessibility, we do so with specialists. What do CEOs think about accessibility? Is it something they do because they have to, or is it something that drives their business? This panel session with four leading CEOs from different sectors of the assessment community, including Examity’s Jim Holm, will come together to discuss business and societal aspects of accessibility in assessments.

Flexibility and Security: The Keys to Successful Online Proctoring
Monday, March 13th from 11:15 AM – 12:05 PM CST

Want to know the secret to successful online proctoring? It’s actually quite simple and can be summed up in two words: flexibility and security. After all, online proctoring is designed to provide testing options that are convenient for the candidate, while also ensuring a secure testing environment. So, how do you make sure that you can handle both effectively and efficiently? Experts from Examity, Adobe, DocuSign, and Okta will lead this important discussion, sharing information and best practices about how to ensure that your online proctoring is both flexible and secure, while providing a better experience for your candidates. 

How Can We Balance Access and Security to Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?
Monday, March 13th from 1:10 PM – 2:20 PM CST

Testing can provide important pathways to opportunity and success. As such, it is critical that testing programs actively seek to ensure test-takers are not denied access to exams. At the same time, security protocols may have the effect of limiting access. Similarly, while proctoring can help ensure a level playing field for all examinees, the reality is that for many individuals, access to proctored exams can be a significant challenge. Join experienced testing practitioners as they further explore these issues, as well as the solutions testing programs are using to balance access and security, in an effort to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Exam Security, Information Security, and Privacy in an Online World
Monday, March 13th from 4:25 PM – 5:15 PM CST

Online testing and proctoring raises exam security, information security, and privacy considerations for testing programs and vendors. What are the key concerns raised by test-takers when it comes to exam security rules and privacy? How are testing programs and vendors working together to provide a level playing field for examinees, protect testing assets, and protect data privacy? Are there areas where privacy regulators or the courts are more closely scrutinizing exam security tools? Join testing professionals to explore these questions, and the challenges today’s online world poses for exam security, information security, and privacy. 

Managing the Unmanageable: Positioning Your Organization for Positive Incident Response Results
Tuesday, March 14th from 9:55 AM – 11:05 AM CST

When incidents arise, whether related to exam security or personal data loss, they can include multiple departments and your board internally, and multiple vendors, test-takers, media contacts, and even lawmakers externally. With so many interested stakeholders, managing incident responses can be difficult. In fact, addressing so many diverse opinions and agendas can, at times, seem unmanageable. During this workshop, experts will discuss how you can position your organization for positive incident response results. Building together, they will explore incident response planning, communications preparedness, and investigation tips that will position your organization for positive results.
