Testing Center Open Houses
Penn State's new Testing Center, located in the Pollock Building on the University Park campus, will hold several Open House events during the fall semester. They are scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 28, Oct. 25 and Nov. 13. The center combines an e-testing lab and the new home for the University's Scanning Operations, previously located in the Rider Building II. Scanning Operations processes paper scan sheets used to capture responses on tests, surveys or other course assessments. The e-testing lab will be in piloting phase this fall and open for computer-based test administration in spring 2008. The lab space is newly renovated with state-of-the-art technology designed to ensure the highest level of security possible. Open House events will include an overview of submitting course-related scan sheets at Scanning Operations and demonstrations of Testing Center entry procedures, new testing equipment and security technology. The Testing Center is jointly operated by Teaching and Learning with Technology, a unit of Information Technology Services, and the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence, a unit of Undergraduate Education.
