We see this cost as a major break on the growth of the e-learning market. Computer-based, locally-invigilated testing is equivalent to 46% of the elearning market at that time. In 2013 we viewed the global elearning market as $91 billion in 2012. In 2013 Learning Light worked with IBIS Capital to produce what is still viewed to be one of the most informative pieces of research into Edtech and elearning. Both in terms of technology and convenience, we believe this $42 billion market is ready to be tapped by remote invigilation. We see remote invigilation – live, online identification and monitoring of the candidate taking an exam – as the next step for computer based assessment. It is forecast to grow very strongly due to the increasing internationalisation of education, increasing MOOC usage, and the demand for certification and regular re-certification from an increasing number of professionals. The global computer based assessment market is worth an estimated $42 billion. Computer-based testing, where a candidate takes a test or exam on a computer rather than by using pen-and-paper brings to examination the benefits of digitisation, such as faster operations, less physical material, and the opportunity for more testing locations.Īssessments of knowledge and competences are (our research tells us) likely to grow to reflect the changing nature of the workplace. The most notable time and cost-saving innovation we have seen in examinations recently is the move towards computer-based testing. As examination operations involve so many processes, it seems that there is indeed potential for cost and time-saving innovations. This means that examination is not only a huge operation, but it is a huge potential market to those who can bring innovation and cost-savings to the examination operation. Included in this operation are a multitude of processes including certification, marking, invigilation and standardisation. From schools with GCSE, A-level, K-12 and baccalaureate examinations, to driving-theory test-centres, to universities, thousands of exams are taken every day. We believe this will be a $10 Billion market by 2026Įxaminations, assessment and testing is a huge operation in the UK, US and worldwide.
Here we discuss the current global market for online proctoring – also known as remote invigilation – and its future impact on elearning and computer based assessment.
