  2. medFLEx – eAssessment for the Federal Licensing Examination in Human Medicine Background/Motivation • Introduction of computer-based assessment (CBA) into the Federal Licensing Examination (Human Medicine) in the context of an overall redesign of the nation-wide exam (mandated by BAG) • Challenging but interesting field for eAssessment: • high-stakes (federal licensing of physicians) • high-complexity (various question formats, use of video, sounds, images) • large-scale (650 candidates in multiple exams each year) • nation-wide (local testing at all medical faculties: BA, BE, GE, LA, ZH)

  3. medFLEx – eAssessment for the Federal Licensing Examination in Human Medicine SIOUX: Ideal Foundation • Legal Security • federal licensing examination is held to the highest standards, legal complaints are not rare • SIOUX provides a digital signing mechanism (state-of-the-art) • Reliability • infrastructure at different sites complicates tight control of network and systems, but exams must not be interrupted • SIOUX allows continued operation in case of failures • Modularity • SIOUX can be customized and interfaced with external modules for the authoring and evaluation of exams • Maturity • SIOUX is in productive use for large-scale summative exams

  4. medFLEx – eAssessment for the Federal Licensing Examination in Human Medicine Development Goals • Prime Media Support • presenting high-definition audio and video in the exam • Broader Scope • adding further question layouts and answer formats • Easy Data Exchange • specifying a flexible format (XML) for exams and results • De-facto Legal Standard • establishing a national reference implementation of legally secure high-stakes assessment • Enhanced Usability • minimizing user training requirements and sources of confusion through scientific test series
