The Sage Hall Computer-Based Testing Center is available for professors of courses needing computerized testing in support of distance, blended or face-to-face classes. Assessment and testing are cornerstones of academic success. UNT actively supports faculty in the assessment of student learning and the Sage Hall Computer-Based Testing Center plays a strong role in this. The center provides an opportunity for secure, high stakes computer-based testing of large groups of students. The CBTC also provides instructors of UNT’s high-enrollment courses with robust opportunities for assessment while also supporting smaller courses, certification testing, and training sessions.
The UIT Mobile Testing Cart (40 laptops) is another resource for online testing. Instructional IT personnel will bring the cart to the classroom, and we offer proctor services and portable desktop testing carrels for optimum testing security. The laptops feature the same configuration and online assessment resources as the fixed-center machines. College of Business faculty members holding classes in the Business Leadership Building may use up to five additional mobile testing carts (200 machines) with the same features and security as part of a collaborative “pop-up testing center” project between the COB and UIT. Go the this website for details and to make reservations for COB laptop exams.
Coming soon! CMHT faculty in Chilton Hall will soon be able to hold laptop-based exams in their classrooms utilizing a 40 machine cart (mid-Fall 2019).
