Dec 12th: Exploring Ofqual's On-Screen Exams Consultation with 2 Experts

In this week's episode, Tim Burnett chats separately with Adam Foley and Paul Muir. Adam Foley is a board member for the e-Assessment Association and works for Surpass, an assessment technology provider. Paul Muir is the incoming chair for the Association of Test Publishers (ATP), a global voice for assessment. They discuss: Ofqual's research and consultation on implementing on-screen examinations for high-stakes assessments The digital divide and infrastructure challenges facing schools in delivering digital exams The feasibility of assessment platforms and the "last mile" delivery problem Tim, Adam, and Paul explore the recently released Ofqual research into on-screen examinations for GCSEs and A-levels, examining both the technological readiness of assessment platforms and the significant challenges around school infrastructure. They discuss the proposed regulatory framework limiting initial rollout to two subjects with separate specifications, the importance of platform consistency for candidates, and concerns about the digital divide. The conversation covers critical questions around candidate choice, exam scheduling, device management, and whether the focus should be on true innovation rather than simply moving "paper to glass." Both guests emphasise the need for a measured, careful approach that prioritises student wellbeing and ensures any digital transformation is a success for learners.
