What is an assessment designer?

Assessment Designers are professionals who create, develop, and evaluate assessments such as tests, quizzes, exams, or other tools to measure learning, skills, or competencies. They work in educational, corporate, or certification settings to ensure assessments are valid, reliable, and aligned with learning objectives. Their tasks include analyzing curriculum standards, designing test items, selecting appropriate formats, and reviewing data to improve assessments. Assessment Designers often collaborate with subject matter experts and utilize educational technology to create effective and fair assessments.
