Abstract:
Amateur Radio license examinations are typically administered in-person by a team of at least 3 Volunteer Examiners. In 2014, the FCC authorized remote exam administration, which has seen limited use by a limited group of Volunteer Exam Coordinators in remote areas to provide exam sessions. In 2020, with the nation-wide shelter-in-place health restrictions, a renewed need to provide fully-remote exams brought together a small working group of amateur radio enthusiasts to develop processes, documentation, and improved examination software (using ExamTools, from the creators of HamStudy.org). This talk will go through the details, improvements, and challenges of fully-remote exam administration, including exam integrity, digital signatures, and computer-based testing that not only benefits the short-term need for fully-remote exams, but also enhances in-person examination sessions for your VE Team!
