 Akara has been administering NAPLAN tests to students in years 3, 5, 7 and 9 since 2008. We're committed to ensuring these tests improve as tools to help identify students' strengths and areas for improvement. Moving to online delivery of tests offers new opportunities to make test data more useful for students, parents and teachers. Opportunity is not afforded by the traditional pencil and paper method. Obviously, this transition comes with challenges. That's why we've been undertaking a range of research activities to look at the feasibility and practicalities of making the switch from pencil and paper to an online environment. I'd now like to pass to Goran Lazendic, senior manager of research and measurement at Akara, to take you through more information about these important activities. Since 2012, under the National Assessment and Service Online program, Akara has been conducting a research and trial test in preparation for a move to online testing. A small pilot study was undertaken in September and October in 2012. It focused on the difference between questions delivered on paper and online. Between August and October of 2013, 260 schools took part in a further trial, which looked at the Taylor test design. Taylor test design is one of the most exciting aspects of moving towards an online test. This is because test questions are customized to the individual student ability. Tailoring the questions make the test more engaging for students. Children who are struggling will be prompted with a set of questions more suited to their ability. And more proficient students will be directed to more challenging questions, which means they are all more likely to stay engaged with the test. This trial was conducted in school across the country, including remote areas. Overall, the trials confirmed that Taylor testing is suitable for future online tests and that increases the accuracy of students' performance measurements. This year, we are running a third study from August to September. The main purpose of this study is to finalize the targeting of test design and its branching mechanism. This mechanism determines how students are directed to the most appropriate set of questions. This study will be delivered in approximately 300 schools across Australia. We will also include a pilot of the proposed solution for testing of spelling, in which students will hear the words to be spelled using headphones. Test administration authorities in the states and territories are assisting Akara by nominating schools for this study. As we look at the feasibility and practicalities of making the switch to online testing, our goal is to ensure that we understand and consider the needs of everyone involved, students, schools, parents, and teachers. We want everyone to be involved in this effort and reap the benefits offered by taking Naplan online.
