“…We showed that item reuse significantly compromised the indices of difficulty and discrimination. There are several articles on item reuse with variable results (Mills, 2002;Wollack & Fremer, 2013;Wood, 2009). Because, our results are obtained from a large cohort, over a relatively long period, and using a curriculum-wide approach, we believe that the results are convincing.…”

The purpose of this study was to manage each course in the spectrum of curriculum and to monitor the students' individual sequential performances. We developed a relational database containing data on learning outcomes, computer-based test results, tutors, and students. In addition, we restructured the students' test results in terms of learning outcomes to produce competency portfolios of individual students. We found that test reliabilities were variable among the courses. Reuse of test items significantly increased the difficulty and compromised the discrimination of items. By building the relationships among the items, the test results and learning outcomes helped us to monitor and manage each test. And it provided not only the students' status but their sequential changes. This made it possible to clearly visualize each individual student's current and past competencies. By building the relational database, we could evaluate diverse aspects of our curriculum and we got an idea to improve it. The database will help us to guide data-driven curriculum management to complement pedagogy-driven medical education. This would be an effective tool to manage undergraduate medical education in an integrated manner.

“…The Handbook of Test Security (Wollack & Fremer, ) is another source of advice on preventing test security violations. Foster (, chapter 3) recommends prevention solutions for technology based testing; specifically, against theft of test item files, item theft during test administrations, inappropriate retakes, and cheating and general deterrence solutions (pp.…”

“…Detection of possible cheating has benefited from a surge of attention in the psychometric and testing communities, due to efforts of the US Department of Education (e.g., the Symposium on Data Integrity; see US Department of Education, ), Association of Test Publishers publications, Council of Chief State School Officers’ publications (e.g., Council of Chief State School Officers and Association of Test Publishers, 2013; Olson & Fremer, ), annual Conference on Test Security (see https://cete.ku.edu/2016-conference-test-security), and researcher publications like the Handbook of Test Security (Wollack & Fremer, ), Test Fraud: Statistical Detection and Methodology (Kingston & Clark, ), and the Handbook of Quantitative Methods for Detecting Cheating on Tests (Cizek & Wollack, ). Table summarizes statistical and other methods for detecting possible test security breaches.…”

Test security is not an end in itself; it is important because we want to be able to make valid interpretations from test scores. In this article, I propose a framework for comprehensive test security systems: prevention, detection, investigation, and resolution. The article discusses threats to test security, roles and responsibilities, rigorous training for everyone involved in testing, and an evaluation of current practices in test security. I call on everyone responsible for testing programs—the Association of Test Publishers, Council of Chief State School Officers, National Council on Measurement in Education, U.S. Department of Education, and state assessment program managers, their vendors, and the research community—to collaborate on guidelines and practices for security violation prevention, detection, investigation, and resolution.

“…Research on innovations in computer-based assessment covers a wide variety of topics, from using technology in testing to detect potential fraud (Wollack & Fremer, 2013) on the one end to highly interactive virtual reality assessments on the other end (ClarkeMidura & Dede, 2010). The most recent innovation that is now widely implemented and is most relevant for the current discussion is the introduction of so-called innovative (or alternative) item types.…”
