Representatives from three major, nationally available placement testing programs will present on what test developers want campuses to know about choosing and implementing a new placement testing system. These experts in test development will speak generally about best practices in test development and how that relates to choosing an instrument. While each represents a placement testing product, their focus will be on their knowledge of placement test development and how that relates to successful implementation of a new placement testing system on college campuses, regardless of which instrument or product your campus is using.

This webinar will be a panel of testing administrators from four different schools who have recently been or are in the process of implementing new placement testing programs. These presenters have been closely involved with their campus leadership around implementing new language, mathematics, or English placement exams at the following schools: Harper College, Temple University, Purdue University- Calumet and University of Akron.

The topic of test center satisfaction surveys appears regularly on the NCTA listserv. The Webinar Committee has put together two presentations that will cover both survey design and how to use the data collected through student/client/customer satisfaction surveys. These presentations are intended to be practical in nature and hope to provide coaching and basic skills that will allow NCTA members to develop their own surveys.
