在过去的五年里，我们一直在运行一个基于计算机的测试设备（CBTF），作为大规模招生stem课程总结性评估的主要手段。在过去的三个学期中，每个学期都为25-30个班级的6000多名学生监考了5万多场考试。我们的CBTF同时提高了评估质量，允许测试计算技能，并减少了在面向stem的广泛课程中进行评估的反复负担，但它确实需要预先投资开发数字考试内容。我们发现我们的CBTF是安全的，具有成本效益的，并且受到我们的教师的喜爱，他们选择一个学期又一个学期地使用它。我们相信，有许多机构同样会从计算机测试设备中受益。
For the past five years we have been operating a Computer-Based Testing Facility (CBTF) as the primary means of summative assessment in large-enrollment STEM-oriented classes. In each of the last three semesters, it has proctored over 50,000 exams for over 6,000 unique students in 25–30 classes. Our CBTF has simultaneously improved the quality of assessment, allowed the testing of computational skills, and reduced the recurring burden of performing assessment in a broad collection of STEM-oriented classes, but it does require an up-front investment to develop the digital exam content. We have found our CBTF to be secure, cost-effective, and well liked by our faculty, who choose to use it semester after semester. We believe that there are many institutions that would similarly benefit from having a Computer-Based Testing Facility.
