Abstract: Computer-based testing (CBT) creates new possibilities for more effective testing and is helpful in courses at all levels of higher education. Instructors can incorporate CBT into their assessment strategies as a way to determine student achievement and to collect feedback on teaching effectiveness. A testing center opened at University Park this fall further facilitates the practice of CBT. The testing center’s mission is to foster innovative assessment practices. The panel will discuss the benefits of using CBT and the testing center as well as the lessons learned when adopting CBT into the course curriculum.
