Dear Associate, |
| Last week I had the opportunity to attend the CLEAR conference in Kansas City. It was good to meet with colleagues and discuss test security issues. |
Here at Caveon we are in the process of designing and developing a real-time data forensics product which will analyze responses to computer-based tests for indications of test fraud as the responses are provided. We would greatly appreciate your input regarding the functionality, pricing and other issues relating to this technology and we've created a short survey to collect this input. |
| The survey consists of just 25 questions and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential, and greatly appreciated. Click here to take the survey. |
Regards,
Don Sorensen
