Ewolucja systemu certyfikacji ECDL – wpływ zmian w procedurze oceny egzaminów na jakość systemu certyfikacji
Evolution of the ECDL Certification System – Changes in the Procedure for the Final Exam and Quality Certification System

Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to evaluate changes in the skills ECDL certification system from the viewpoint of pro-quality changes. He describes the main changes in the organizational structure, focusing on examination procedures. His perspective is formed through his many years of experience as a trainer, academic lecturer and examiner, from the period when there was no on-line ECDL examination system and the whole planning and execution of the exam was carried out by the examiner.The author is critical of the newly introduced principle whereby during the final exam, the ex-aminer has no access to questions / tasks ()performed by the individual examined – Grading is car-ried out only on the basis of instructions on the evaluation of questions (hereinafter "assessment sheet") and file (or files) resulting from the implementation of the examinee tasks. It is difficult to objectively assess examinees work on the basisof a closed standardized cafeteria for the assessment of tasks requiring creativity. Restricting examinators’ access to the content of the tasks given to candidates to perform may cause errors in assessment, something which should never happen.
