Pity those unwilling to improve assessment equity, access, and fairness via digital. They seek comfort with ‘tech bro’, calligraphy, and nostalgia arguments. Keeping learners with no agency and voice to struggle every day against manuscript martyrs with complexity phobia.

A pity the social media debate is conflated with digital exams assessment. A completely ring-fenced and separate sector, that UK has led for over 25 years.
But he was great in Croupier and Monsieur Spade, so I appreciate his experience and insight of high-stakes environments!

@LauraTrottMP A conversation with Britain's rapidly growing digital assessment industry, successfully exporting for three decades, is sorely needed.

When it comes to exams, we should follow the evidence. Research shows writing by hand supports memory & deeper learning. With growing concerns about screen time affecting attainment, moving high stakes exams to devices makes little sense without proof it improves outcomes.

Sad to see the paper exam supporters wheeling out tired, debunked excuses; moaning 'the country can't afford it', while the exam world moved on without England.

If GCSE’s move online it will be a catastrophe. Citing “preparing for exams” schools will dump what little remains of books and pens and stuff our poor addicted children even further down the internet at great cost to their education, mental health and safety. @ofqual

@MathsNot “At the moment there is no regulation.”
Ofqual and its predecessors have been regulating on-screen exam delivery at scale since 2004.
