Professor Elana Zeide served as moderator and panelist during the Policy, Profit, Privacy, and Privilege: The Post-Pandemic Future of Remote Testing Technolgy webinar on Nov 15, 2021.
This particular webinar, moderated by prof. Zeide, featured industry experts and touched on topics such as how "last year's pandemic-prompted lockdown disrupted institutions of every kind, none more profoundly than schools, and vaulted many commercial technologies already in use to prominence. While online meeting software like Zoom took center stage, a host of remote testing administration (RTA) products also were perhaps less noticeably deployed by educators to proctor tests at almost every grade level more than ever before. As widely reported, however, profound issues of these systems' accuracy, security, and fundamental fairness to less-advantaged students rapidly surfaced and have yet to be resolved."
The webinar was part of the United States Technology Policy Committee's HotTopics Webinars series.
