Most recently, I have designed an innovative cross-grades system of computerised multistage adaptive tests for the Australian national assessments program. I also developed, led and successfully implemented the ambitious and multifaceted research program that provided a comprehensive range of quantitative and qualitative empirical evidence to guide and support the transition of the national assessments from paper-based to computer-based tests. The new multistage adaptive national tests have been successfully implemented in over a thousand Australian schools in 2018.I have strong research interest in novel approaches to automated scoring of writing and have spearheaded the significant research efforts to investigate operational and conceptual issues of its implementation in large-scale national writing assessment. I am Honorary Senior Fellow at the Assessment Research Center, the University of Melbourne, and a Senior Assessment Specialist with UNESCO International Bureau of Education. Show less
