2/18/2021Using Q-global and QInteractive to Access DigitalMaterials and AdministerAssessments in TelepracticeSettingsPresenter:Patrick Moran, Ph.D.Director, Western Region &Government Accounts, Pearson ClinicalAssessment1Initial Thoughts The telepractice information on Pearson’s website and in thiswebinar is intended to support professionals in makinginformed, well-reasoned decisions around remoteassessment. This information is not intended to becomprehensive regarding all considerations for assessmentvia telepractice. It should not be interpreted as a requirementor recommendation to conduct assessment via telepractice. Professionals should remain mindful to: Follow their own professional best practice recommendationsand respective ethical codes. Follow telepractice regulations and legal requirements fromfederal, state and local authorities, licensing boards,professional liability insurance providers and payors.221

2/18/2021Initial Thoughts Develop competence with assessment via telepracticethrough activities such as practicing, studying, consulting withother professionals, and engaging in professionaldevelopment. Professionals should use your clinical judgment to determineif assessment via telepractice is appropriate for a particularexaminee, referral question, and situation. There arecircumstances where assessment via telepractice is notfeasible and/or is contraindicated. Documentation of allconsiderations, procedures, and conclusions remains aprofessional responsibility.33Initial Thoughts For those who, after consultation, wish to provideassessment remotely, Pearson has made available,over a 100 manuals and stimulus books accessible onQ-global so that you can continue working withoutsome hard copies of materials. This webinar provides a technical overview ofhow practitioners can use the Q-Global and QInteractive platform to administer assessments with aclient at a remote site. For guidance on specific tests and moreinformation, please see the Telepractice pageon pearsonassessments.com.442

2/18/2021Audio/Visual EnvironmentComputers and connectivity Two computers with audio and video capability and stableinternet connectivity. Web camera, microphone and speakers/headphones are required forboth examiner and examinee.Teleconference platform Ensure they meet HIPAA/FERPA requirements (e.g., encryptedtransmission, secure login/access). Offer screensharing capabilities. The teleconference platform should allow all relevant visual stimulito be fully visible to the examinee. The video of the examiner shouldnot impede the examinee’s view of visual stimuli.Video Be sure you can see full faces throughout the duration of theassessment. Use full screen mode when displaying test materials.77Audio/Visual EnvironmentImage/screen size Visual stimuli on the examinee’s screen should be at least 9.7”measured diagonally for standardization purposes. Smaller screens, such as those of iPad minis andsmartphones, are not allowed for examinee-facing content.Gesturing Use your mouse to gesture as needed.884

2/18/2021Audio/Visual EnvironmentAudio requirements High-quality audio capabilities are required during theadministration. Test the audio for both the examiner and examinee prior tothe administration to ensure a high-quality audio environment ispresent.Manage audiovisual distractions Make sure the examinee’s environment is free from audio and visualdistractions. Silence phones other devices and close all otherapplications on the computer.Lighting Establish good overhead and facial lighting for the examiner andexaminee. Close blinds or shades to reduce sun glare.99Test/Test MaterialsManage stimulus materials and verify ability to recordexaminee's responses: Take into consideration the materials each test requiresprior to test administration and how these materials willbe accessed (digital vs. paper). Some assessments/subtests may require the useof examinee response booklets. Use clinical judgement on administration ofthese assessments/subtests and follow testspecific guidance found on the Telepractice page.10105

2/18/2021Examinee FactorsPrepared Before initiating test administration, ensure that the examinee isable, prepared, well-rested, feeling well, and ready to appropriatelyand fully participate in the telepractice test session.Explain facilitator (if using) Consult the "The Use of Facilitators in a Remote TestAdministration for Telepractice" document under the Quick Linkssection of the Pearson Telepractice page for additional guidance.Explain the role of the facilitator to the examinee so participationand actions are understood.1111Examiner FactorsPractice Extensively practice the mechanics and workflow of every item inthe entire test using the selected teleconference platform so that youare familiar with the administration procedures.Standardized Procedures Follow the administration procedures of traditional administration asmuch as possible.12126

2/18/2021Other ConsiderationsCopyright Obtain permission for access to copyrighted materialsas appropriate. Pearson has provided a letter of NoObjection to permit use of copyrighted materialsfor telepractice during the COVID-19 event.Reporting State in your report that the test was administered via telepractice,and briefly describe the method of telepractice used. For example:“The (TEST NAME) was administered via remote telepractice usingdigital stimulus materials on Pearson’s Q-global system, and afacilitator monitored the administration onsite using a printed responsebooklet during the live video connection using the [nameof telepractice system] platform.”1313Did you know?You can also access the Telepractice guidance sections from the individual product pages onpearsonassessments.com.14147

2/18/2021Q-global Web-based reporting systemthat allows administration ofassessments that are self-administered,directly observed by the examiner, and/ormay be proctored, like the BASC -3 andVineland -3, WISC-5, and many more. Generate scores and reportson any internet-connected device—evenfor assessments thatare administered using paper forms. Allows access to digital manuals andstimulus books.Remote On-screenAdministration (ROSA)method allows forexaminee/third party tobe emailed theassessment, allowingthem to complete it ontheir own web-enabledevice.School District Digital Library 15153 Administration Methods in Q-global Manual Entry: Paper/pencil administration of assessment followed bylogging into Q-global and entering in the rawscores/item responses in order to generate a report. On-screen Administration (OSA): Allows an assessment to be administered digitally onyour web-enabled device. Remote On-screen Administration (ROSA): Allows an assessment to be digitally administered onan examinee's or respondent's (ex: parent/teacher)web-enabled device.16168

Slide 17LJ12Do we want to add the handscoring part here? If no, where should it be added?KA4This is a good place, I think. And you can reiterate the difference again in the materials that have beenreleased for use during this time and those that are always present in Q-global. On second thought, Ilike the point you make on the slide, but maybe a slide before this to separate out the process ofusing: paper or remote admin and handscoring; paper and online scoring; digital admin and digialscoring. A slide just before this that shows those methods and then this slide that shows the materials?Lehner, Jarett, 4/8/2020Kimbell, Anne-Marie, 4/9/2020
