MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, July 6, 2015 – Computer-based testing global leader Pearson VUE is to host a free webinar for professional exam owners in Australia exploring content development innovations and best practice.

We will have discussions around ensuring exams remain up to date while opening up opportunities for question writers to think differently.

“Australia is a sophisticated market and we know professional exam owners are striving to improve the quality of their content. This is an opportunity to explore the practicalities of achieving industry best practices by utilising technology.”

Topics for the webinar – part of a wider series of education sessions – include content development and question banking, how test owners can maximise their investment when it comes to reviewing and writing questions, and training technique for question-writers. It will also consider how to adopt the right question formats to help meet exam measurement goals.
