The COVID‐19 pandemic has accelerated the shift toward online learning solutions necessitating the need for developing online assessment solutions. Vendors offer online assessment delivery systems with varying security levels designed to minimize unauthorized behaviors. Combating cheating and securing assessment content, however, is not solely the responsibility of the delivery system. Assessment design practices also effectively minimize cheating and protect content. In developing online assessment solutions, organizations also must strive to ensure that all students have the opportunity to test.
