Rory Graham of FisherBroyles discusses the future of assessment and exams
The Exam podcast was thrilled to have Rory Graham on. Rory is a Technology and Corporate Partner at international law firm FisherBroyles.
Rory has excellent experience in mergers and acquisitions in Ed tech firms. While being in a good position to comment on the future of exams.
Rory discusses the future of assessments and exams in a post pandemic world. How it is possible to have regulated exams if the exams are written in a way that assumes the candidate has an ‘open book.’
Rory is optimistic that virtual digital assessments actually bring down the barriers of taking the assessments and exams. While also testing candidates on real world work scenarios. Which, if done correctly allows for improved social mobility.
Where candidates do not need to have the geographical advantage nor the physical presence to impress and be used to the informal advantage.
A previous Exam podcast had James Uffindell From Bright Network discussing the challenges of recruiting from the widest possible pool. Reducing the chance certain sectors of society miss out of graduate opportunities.
It is these informal advantages that propel candidates into the competitive jobs when faced with the old fashioned assessments. While on the contrary those who suffer the challenge of geography and social awareness. It is these difference that make the difference in the old fashioned way of recruiting. Putting pressure on social mobility.
Digital assessments are here to stay.
I hope you enjoy the Exam Podcast.
