It was a busy day for IAWP reminders. I sent out what will be the final e-mail on evaluating the 7 different online test providers (ClassMarker, ExamBuilder, ExamProfessor, HostedWare, ProProf, QuizEgg and ZohoChallenge). By the end of next week I hope to have a lot more evaluations back and will look closely at the comments I received as well as my own reviews from the test administrator point of view. I am looking at things separate from the test taker. Things like ease of test design, test security, test taker notification process, etc. Some providers are much easier than others! I really appreciate all those who have given me feedback.
The other reminder was sent to the Education, Legislation, Communications, Veterans, Workforce Systems, UI and Specialized Customer Services committees. I am the IAWP officer who is the liaison to those committees. I designed a planning tool for them to use that lists all the committee job duties from the IAWP Handbook along with the "points of interest" identified by each committee. If you know me, you know I am a planner. If it gets written down it's more likely to get accomplished and from my point of view, that's what we need in IAWP. We need to set goals and accomplish them. (Okay, off my soapbox now.) The planning tool list the actions items that will be accomplished along with timeframes. I will probably drive these committee chairs nuts with my ongoing dialogue over what's to be accomplished.
