Nothing must be happening

OK, I admit it. Its been a while - call it blogger guilt. But I am not used to telling you about "what I am doing now" as my new Facebook account urges. Sorry, I guess I am old school that way. Not used to sharing every thought with the faceless universe. But that does not mean nothing has happened worth talking about (re-enter bloggers guilt - oh and there's new years resolution guilt too), actually a lot has been happening in the field of online testing. The jury has come back and said that online testing is secure - yet many are unconvinced. Maybe they are just in another classroom in my same old school... hmm. Technology is only as good as we apply it - and when it actually works of course. But the notion that online testing technology cannot create secure tests is, well, uhm, a little outdated. Whether we use it or not, tests delivered online can be secure and (gasp) even high-stakes. Wow, so why do we hold on to the way things have always been? Is there really security in stagnation? I wonder.
