Background and Responsibilities

In 2023, the ISU Test Center became part of the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT).  As part of its integration, a Test Center Advisory Board (TCAB) was formed to assist Test Center staff in an advisory capacity.  Responsibilities for each board member include:

• review and input on Test Center policies and practices
• serve as a liaison to their respective college/unit
• provide input on student and faculty training and resource development
• provide input on supported assessment technologies
• general service delivery and experience improvements
• advocate for Test Center use among peers

Member Information

The Test Center Supervisor will solicit membership for Board participation from current instructor users or users within the last year.  A term for each representative is three years, with a rotation each academic year of three new members on and three members off.  The Test Center Supervisor and the previous Chair select the TCAB Chair and Vice Chair.  The Chair is the co-facilitator with the Test Center Supervisor of each board meeting.  TCAB meets at least twice per semester, with more meetings as the group decides.
