Episode 27: What Makes a Difference for Candidates Taking Computer-based Tests‪?‬ Regulation Matters: a CLEAR conversation

Paula Lehane, a Ph.D. candidate at Dublin City University in Ireland with the Centre for Assessment Research, Policy and Practice in Education, and author of a recent CLEAR Exam Review article, discusses some of the issues that regulatory organizations need to consider for candidates taking computer based tests.
