Universal Design for Computer-based Testing: (UD-CBT) Guidelines, October 2010

The Universal Design for Computer-based Testing provides a framework that can be applied to assessment design. This highly technical paper provides definitions, ways to apply the guidelines, and the guidelines themselves in a tiered system of test design and delivery. Much of this paper draws attention to the test design and variance as a means of constructing content to better assess students’ abilities appropriately enhanced by the role of digital technology. This paper is sponsored by Pearson.
