Design and Development of the ITC Guidelines on Computer-Based and Internet-Delivered Testing Iain Coyne Institute of Work, Health, and Organizations University of Nottingham, England Dave Bartram SHL Group plc, England This article describes the design and development of the International Test Commis- sion’s (ITC, this issue) Guidelines for Computer-Based and Internet-Delivered Testing. It examines some of the reasons why the ITC Council decided to invest in a program of research, consultation, and conferences designed to develop internation- ally agreed-on guidelines specifically aimed at computer- and Internet-based testing and describes the methodology involved in developing and disseminating the guide- lines. Through a process of reviewing relevant literature and organizing conferences and wide consultations, a set of internationally recognized guidelines that high- lighted good practice issues in computer/Internet testing were developed. The guide- lines will raise awareness among all stakeholders in the testing process of what con- stitutes good practice in computer/Internet testing and can be used as a benchmark to set local standards and guidelines. Further issues are raised from the research, not least the need to ensure that with advances in technology and science comes the up- dating of training in tests and testing to keep up with such advances. Over the past few years, the International Test Commission (ITC) has adopted a policy of promoting good practice in testing issues where international coordina- tion of effort is most important. For example, the ITC has devised guidelines to INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF TESTING, 6(2), 133–142 Copyright © 2006, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.
