The Board of Studies NSW has a policy of full access and equity in online test development, ensuring that online testing systems are able to be used by students with a wide range of disabilities.
Learnosity has extensive experience in developing accessible systems through their work with the Board that are completely accessible to students with a wide range of disabilities and special needs. These include the provision of size-modifiable texts/images, pause-test buttons, individually set extra time provisions, pre-recorded audio questions and keyboard-based navigation for students with mobility issues.
As a part of the Board's E-assessment program, practice testing systems for students were required.
In 2006, we assisted in the Board's delivery of an online practice test used by thousands of students in a classroom environment. A broader project enabled highly efficient delivery of multiple choice questions with graphic reference content, in 34 subjects to both a home and a classroom environment.
The project proved a phenomenal success with a total of over 13 million tests taken online since its launch. For the last number of years, one million online tests are done in the 4-8 week run up to the students written examinations. This includes up to 110,000 in one day - more than 120 tests per minute, every minute, for eight hours.
The things we have learned from working on this system enable us to confidently advise on delivering massive numbers of online tests in a risk-managed and controlled manner.

For over a decade, each year the Board has delivered exam results online to more than 65,000 students. The success of this system, which comes under enormous public and political scrutiny, is a core business objective for the Board of Studies.
Learnosity has taken an active role in providing improved public confidence in this system.
Since 2005 we have developed important modifications and refinements enabling it to deliver faster, with improved contemporary security features, and with better dashboard reporting facilities.
The Board has developed a significant reputation in providing highly acclaimed and high traffic educational websites that have won design, educational and public service awards.
Through our experience in Content Management System implementation, contemporary web design and web applications, Learnosity have taken an active role in the Board's recent re-development work across a wide range of those sites, including the following examples:
