			<p>Q-global is the only scoring and reporting system that features today&#39;s leading assessments on a simple-to-use, web-based interface that is accessible anytime, anywhere.</p>

			<p>Q-global offers you:</p>

			<ul>
				<li>24/7 secure, web-based access</li>
				<li>Portability: Q-global can be used on mobile devices such as a laptop or a tablet</li>
				<li>Online ordering through Pearson&#39;s site and subsequent automatic customer account setup</li>

			<h3>Platform</h3>

			<p>You can access your Q-global account through any Internet-connected device to manage and retrieve examinee information, generate scores from assessment data and produce accurate, comprehensive assessment reports. All of these activities are performed in a secure, private web environment that helps professionals streamline their assessment workflow while complying with widely accepted data privacy standards. The web-based nature of Q-global provides users with unprecedented flexibility in accessing and performing their work anytime and anywhere.</p>

			<h3>Security</h3>

			<p><strong>How does Q-global protect my clients&#39; data security and privacy?</strong></p>

			<p><strong>Download the&nbsp;<a href="/content/dam/school/global/clinical/au/assets/q-global/q-interactive-and-q-global-security-and-privacy.pdf" target="_blank">&quot;Q-Interactive and Q-Global Security and Privacy: Online and Digital testing and the Australian Privacy Principles (APP)&quot;</a></strong></p>

			<p>Examinee data on Q-global is protected through physical security, administrative safeguards and encryption. Examinee data sits within a database that is encrypted with industry-standard high-security encryption, on servers located in a secured data centre in Canada.</p>

			<p>When data is transmitted, it is encrypted using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. The system uses a secured Oracle database that separates and segregates a customer&#39;s records so that they cannot be seen by other customers. This separation and segregation is confirmed through testing and external auditing. Customer access to a Q-global account and the data held within is password protected. Customers are responsible for safeguarding their passwords, and for changing passwords periodically and whenever there is a concern about a possible compromise. Finally, the system is regularly tested and subjected to audits, both internally and externally.</p>

			<h3>Test Administration Options</h3>

			<p>There are tests on the Q-global<sup>&reg;&nbsp;</sup>platform that can be administered on screen and / or via paper and pencil with the option to manually enter the scores and then generate the report as a PDF and/or a Word document.</p>

			<p>Q-global<sup>&reg;</sup>&nbsp;offers the following options for test administration for the candidate and / or rater;</p>

			<ol>
				<li><em>Manual Entry&nbsp;</em>(<strong>ME</strong>): When the test is administered using the paper-pencil format, the raw scores or item responses are manually entered into the Q-global<sup>&reg;</sup>&nbsp;platform</li>
				<li><em>On-screen administration</em>&nbsp;(<strong>OSA</strong>) the test is administered to the client on-screen via the Q-global<sup>&reg;</sup>&nbsp;platform.</li>
				<li><em>Remote on screen administration</em>&nbsp;(<strong>ROSA</strong>) where the candidate or rater is sent an email invitation with a link to launch and administer the test at a remote location. ROSA is available on specific tests (refer to the following table).</li>
				<li><em>Group Administration</em>&nbsp;(<strong>GA</strong>) is available for specific tests.</li>

					<li>Narrative interpretive report that also contains scores</li>

						<p>Q-global is a web-based system from Pearson that consolidates the content and functionality of three legacy software systems (Q-Local, PsychCorp Center, and ASSIST) into one platform. The platform offers on-screen administration of assessments as well as scoring and reporting capabilities for a variety of assessments. Q-global can be described as Pearson&#39;s web-based system for administering on-screen assessments that do not require interaction between the clinician and client. The tool also offers a complete set of options for scoring, interpreting, and reporting assessment results.</p>

						<p>Q-global consolidates the content and functionality of three legacy software systems (Q Local, PsychCorpCenter, and ASSIST) into one convenient platform that offers on-screen administration of assessments and scoring and reporting capabilities for a variety of assessments.</p>

						<p>Q Local is the current desktop-based system that offers on-screen administration of assessments and scoring and reporting capabilities for assessments such as the MMPI-2-RF, MCMI-III, MBMD, and others. In this regard, Q-global can be described as an expansion of Q Local&#39;s functionality and content, offered in a web-based format.</p>

						<p>I&#39;m not used to paying for reports on a per-use basis. How can I order reports conveniently without having to go through my purchasing department every time I need to use one?</p>
						</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>
						<p>Ordering report usages for Q-global should function identically to how orders are processed for other per-use components of the assessment process, such as record forms, answer sheets, and response booklets. These are items that are ordered in the same per-use format by organisations large and small, public and private. Q-global usages purchased are similar to this, except they are digital items and delivered virtually rather than paper items physically shipped to the customer.</p>

						<p>To address any organisational barriers or challenges to purchasing usages in this way, many Q-global reports are being developed to include bundled options with the corresponding record forms that can be purchased as one item. More information about these purchase options for relevant assessments can be found by visiting each product&#39;s webpage to see the various purchase options that may work for different customers and settings.</p>

						<p>I bought scoring software from Pearson that provides unlimited reporting. Are you going to force me to start using Q-global instead and pay an additional per-use fee?</p>
						</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>
						<p>No. If you are already using one of Pearson&#39;s legacy desktop-based scoring and reporting programs, you will not be required to use Q-global. These programs will continue to operate normally for the foreseeable future and you may choose to continue using them if you wish. It should be noted however, that as assessment content is migrated to the Q-global platform, two things will occur that customers should be made aware of:</p>

						<ul>
							<li>Immediately after migrating to Q-global, legacy software programs (PsychCorpCenter and ASSIST) will cease to be offered for purchase in their desktop-based format. This means that all new purchasers will only have the option of purchasing these programs in Q-global.</li>
							<li>Shortly after migrating to Q-global, legacy software programs (PsychCorpCenter and ASSIST) will cease to receive ongoing support and maintenance from a systems technology perspective. This means that as new operating systems are released by software makers, Pearson will no longer provide system updates to these legacy programs to ensure their continued functioning for desktop-based use. The major exception to this policy will be the treatment of Q Local and its continued support in the market for the foreseeable future.</li>
						</ul>

					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>
						<p>I don&#39;t have access to the internet in my organisation. Can I perform my scoring and reporting activities using Q-global?</p>
						</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>
						<p>No. As a web-based system, Q-global is not currently a viable solution for professionals operating in settings with limited or no internet access. For these organisations, it is recommended that they continue to use Pearson&rsquo;s legacy desktop-based systems (PsychCorpCenter, ASSIST, and Q Local) to meet their ongoing administration, scoring, and reporting needs.</p>

						<p>These systems will continue to operate for the time-being as customers make the transition to a more internet-connected workplace, and Pearson develops long-term support plans. Moving forward, all new content developed for computer-based environments will reside online via Q-global.</p>
