Abstract
In nearly all countries, technological changes in the field of digital media have raised great interest in procedures for testing students’ performance by means of computer-based assessment. For extensive international tests (large-scale assessments) such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) or Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS), pilot studies with computer-based assessment were first carried out. In the context of national education systems, the question of feasibility plays a crucial role. Considering the framework conditions in Germany, scenarios for a potential nation-wide roll-out have been developed. Based on this, we evaluated the feasibility of technical and organizational factors.
