Welcome to this week's curated collection from Test Community Network, bringing together the latest insights, innovations, and challenges shaping the assessment landscape. This edition explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence in educationβ€”from AI detection technology achieving 99.9% accuracy to debates about GenAI's pedagogical implications. We examine critical test security concerns, including sophisticated cheating operations targeting high-stakes examinations, whilst celebrating successful organisational transitions and innovative approaches to digital learning. The collection spans diverse topics including continuous professional development for educators, digital accessibility compliance deadlines, grading reform barriers, and the evolving skills students need for future careers. Featured content includes expert podcasts, regulatory updates, case studies, and analysis from across the global education and certification sectors.
