TestVision is a digital and summative assessment tool.

At all faculties, TestVision will be phased out and exams will be taken with Ans Exam from 1 September 2024 onward. TestVision will still be available until August 2025 as an archive to view exam questions, previously taken tests and results, but without the ability for test administration.

More information on the introduction process of Ans Exam.

With this tool, as a teacher, I can:

  • fully digital assessments, both on-site and online;
  • select different question types, such as: MC, scaffold, rank, matching, hotspot, fill-in-the-blank and open;
  • create question banks that allow for randomization of the complete assessment, question order, and possibly answer alternatives by student. This can reduce fraud during online assessments;
  • adding high-quality images, audio and video to test questions;
  • having the closed questions automatically marked;
  • analyze the reliability and quality of a test afterwards;
  • collaborate with colleagues on the question bank and assessment.

Watch for an impression via the UvA

Why should I use this tool?
  • With TestVision you have extensive possibilities to gain insight into the quality of a test through analysis.
  • By developing a digital question bank it saves you and your colleagues a lot of preparation time.
  • You save time when reviewing large numbers of students.
  • TestVision offers support in the preparation and administration of tests, and in the publication of results.
What is this tool less suitable for?
  • TestVision is generally not used for formative assessments. An alternative for formative assessment is Canvas Quizzes.
  • TestVision is unsuitable for summative assessments of skills, such as speaking skills or making connections. A Take Home Exam, practical assignment or essay can be alternatives when you want to test more complicated thinking processes.

Pay attention to the following:

  • It takes some time investment to learn how to use the tool, but once implemented you can save a lot of time with TestVision.
  • The request for TestVision tests should be made in a timely manner.

 

When does this tool work best?
  • Are you curious whether your assessment form is suitable to be administered via TestVision? Please contact the test experts of your faculty to come along during their consultation hours.
  • To start using TestVision you need access to the tool. Are you curious about the technical side of TestVision, deadlines and other support? Please contact your ICTO department.
  • Strive for a review process that is as objective as possible: divide the review of open questions among colleagues and set criteria for scoring these answers1.
