| Summary: | In September 2008 the Joint Research Centre (JRC, IPSC) of the European Commission, together with the Iceland Educational Testing Institute, carried out an expert workshop on �The Transition to Computer-Based Assessment - Lessons learned from the PISA 2006 Computer Based Assessment of Science (CBAS) and implications for large scale testing�. This report is based on input made and conclusions drawn from the discussions held on computer-based skills assessment in comparative surveys, such as the international PISA survey which is going to be fully computer-based in the near future. Specific emphasis is given to the comparison between paper-pencil tests and computer based assessment, electronic tests and gender differences, and adaptive vs. linear computer-based assessment. The volume is complemented by further articles in areas which have not been covered by workshop presentations. It therefore provides a comprehensive overview of issues and challenges to take into account when moving from traditional testing approaches to computer-based assessments at a national and international level.
