If your organisation deals with data from people living in the EU, it’s going to have to comply with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is concerned with making sure people’s personal data is properly looked after and will require that organisations have certain measures in place when it comes into force on 25th May 2018.
As an alternative to traditional multiple-choice assessment, Certainty Based Marking (CBM) helps employees to learn in a more confident, considered and comprehensive way. The reasons for this – outlined in our blog post Certainty Based Marking and how it improves employee training – are that it requires learners to indicate the certainty of their answers and uses a scoring scale that encourages honesty in doing so.
We recently wrote an article for eLearning Industries that outlined three ways in which Certainty Based Marking (CBM) improves employee assessment. CBM expert Tony Gardner-Medwin from University College London responded to the article with an interesting and very valid comment, pointing out that the points scale shown in our article isn’t necessarily ideal for CBM to be effective. We agree with Tony, so we thought we’d pen a piece explaining how Wranx awards points for CBM!
