The Crucible Method

Focus on testing, not logistics

Crucible is the only turn-key human scoring system that supports every major testing method, including: Observational, OSCE, Performance-based Assessments, Oral Interviews, and Essay Marking. Crucible Cloud™ is deployed through a dynamic web interface that allows examiners to evaluate candidate performance, and system admins to easily manage the entire exam life cycle. BrightLink can also send turn-key grading “kits” - which include tablets, networking equipment, and servers - to deliver an “offline” exam event with no additional equipment required.

Backed by Science
A high-stakes user experience for examiners is critical - which is why Crucible is built with visual ergonomics: a multidisciplinary science focused on understanding human visual cognition processes and interactions with elements of a particular system.

Bias Mitigation

Cognitive biases are tendencies to think in certain ways that can lead to systematic deviations from a set standard of rationality or good judgment. Crucible mitigates such biases through careful analysis, research, and testing. The interface, practices, and measurements are constantly evolving, but Crucible takes a balanced approach across a wide variety of biases.
