...for Examination Authorities
An Examination authority is tasked with setting, marking and moderating awards and subsequently providing feedback to unsuccessful candidates and certificates to successful candidates.
Although many such authorities have moved to electronic testing there are still many who set traditional paper-based examination papers, whether they are multiple choice or traditional.
The examination authority has two over-riding concerns:
- That all papers, marking schemes and recorded results must be accurate.
- That the systems used must be wholly auditable by an external accreditation authority.
Employing a BPM package in this environment satisfies these requirements:
- Workflows and processes are auditable.
- Digital signatures can be employed to provide a guaranteed audit trail of approvals.
- Documents can be stored in secure PDF files and are never changeable apart from in the business processes themselves.
We've listed some of the most obvious uses of a BPM package for an Examination Authority below.
- Accept and review a suggested multiple-choice question.
- Produce an exam paper (multiple-choice).
- Take and schedule entries for an examination.
- Analyse individual candidate results and send feedback or certificate.
