On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, from 3:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., NCEO and the Council of Chief State School Officers\u2019 (CCSSO) Assessment, Standards, and Education of Students with Disabilities (ASES) collaborative will jointly hold a forum, <em>Process Data: Understanding Student Use of Computer-based Assessment Tools<\/em>. This in-person forum will be held immediately following the National Conference on Student Assessment (NCSA) in Austin, Texas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants will engage with leading researchers who will provide foundational knowledge about what process data is, how it is collected, and what it can reveal about how students engage with accessibility features and accommodations during testing. A state education agency representative will share how they are exploring and applying process data in practice. Building on these presentations, facilitated discussions will invite participants to collectively examine what process data can tell us about accessibility features and accommodations engagement and use patterns, and what they mean for students with disabilities, including those who are also&nbsp;English learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a balance of informative presentations and interactive discussions, participants will benefit from both expert knowledge and the collective wisdom of their peers. These exchanges will address practical applications and policy implications for states seeking to leverage process data to improve assessment accessibility for different student populations. This forum is open to participants attending either the National Conference on Student Assessment (NCSA) or the CCSSO collaborative meetings at no additional charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Register for the Forum here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/umn.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_2ovuzwZNzWq07Ay\">https:\/\/umn.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_2ovuzwZNzWq07Ay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Computer-based assessments can generate a rich layer of information called process data (sometimes click data or log data) that captures how students interact with tests, not just whether they were assigned or used the accessibility tools available to them.
