The question of potential cheating and test integrity on the test takers side is also of concern when online assessment are used.

This ethics-based webinar will include an overview by various Association of Test Provider (ATP) members and the PAI group on best practices used in the protection of assessment and candidate personal information, as well as the management of proctored testing.
