Basic Examiner Qualification

Lecturers who would like to dive into the assessment cycle should consider obtaining their Basic Examiner Qualification. The BEQ trajectory is a compact individual portfolio trajectory that can be tailor-made from short didactical modules on assessment. The BEQ trajectory covers the entire assessment cycle at course level from design to evaluation.

Are you facing the challenge of updating or adapting your course assessments? Do you want to be able to make decisions about the results of your test more confidently? Or do you want to be able to advise colleagues on assessment quality, for example as a member of an assessment committee? Are you looking for an efficient way to refresh, expand or demonstrate your competence in assessment? Then the BEQ trajectory is interesting for you!

Content and form

For the BEQ you need to participate in a series of 3 (or more) BEQ MicroLabs, which are short didactical modules about assessment:

1. Preparing written tests and assessments. MicroLab How to design an assessment plan for your course
2. Developing hands-on assignments and other forms of assessment. You can choose from the following two options:
   1. MicroLab How to construct assignments & alternative modes of assessment 
   2. MicroLab How to construct exams & questions
3. Analyzing results and evaluating assessment quality. MicroLab How to analyze & evaluate your assessment

Preparation and completion

Prior to each session, you will be required to review materials in the Canvas online learning environment. After each session, you will work on a Proof of Competence (PoC), which together form a portfolio. This complete and approved portfolio is required for BEQ certification.
