Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic rushed licensure and certification institutions, as well as many university programs, to integrate Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in their practices to allow for remote administrations of their exams independent of distancing measures. The Black Ice covered in this manuscript is the integration of ICTs to allow remote administration of high-stakes assessments in terms of its development, administration, and monitoring with the aim to promote the validity of score interpretation.
Résumé
La pandémie de la COVID-19 a eu comme conséquence de rendre nécessaire le recours aux technologies de l’information et de la communication aux évaluations des ordre professionnels, institutions de certification ainsi que de nombreux programmes universitaires. Le terrain glissant exploré dans cet article est celui de l’utilisation des TIC pour permettre la réalisation d’évaluations à enjeux élevés à distance par rapport à leur élaboration, l’administration et le monitorage tout en assurant la validité de l’interprétation des scores.
