ABSTRACT
This article provides a detailed, step-by-step description of the introduction of technology (iPad® use of ExamSoft® web-based assessment software) for administering and grading cadaver-oriented anatomy practical examinations. We explain the advantages of computer-based testing in the delivery and grading of practical examinations, including minimizing human error inherent in hand grading, improving the efficiency of reporting, and mapping the examination to course objectives. Furthermore, item analysis (including item difficulty, discrimination indices, and point biserial correlations) allows evaluation of laboratory teaching and testing and monitoring of the curriculum. We also address how the advantages of this format override any limitation, such as cost. In conclusion, we describe our future directions and how others could adopt this approach.
