TOWES Test Administrator Training moves online

The TOWES department is currently developing a new online Test Administrator Training program that will provide more flexibility.

“Training typically takes place in person or over the phone, which is often challenging to schedule with test administrators located across the country,” says TOWES Production Coordinator Alisa Foreman.

The new online format allows test administrators to complete the required training at their convenience and in stages, if preferred. Distributors and test administrators log onto the training website where they can access training material resembling PowerPoint presentations or movie clips. Training may be started or stopped at any time and includes links to the required documentation associated with test invigilation, such as the TOWES Test Site Record.

The online test administrator training program will be piloted in Fall 2008. Existing test administrators will have the opportunity to review the material and the functionality of the training and provide feedback to TOWES. The pilot project will provide TOWES with an opportunity to receive important feedback for suggestions and changes.
