My question began as one posed from one of our staff. He regularly instructs groups in workplace matters which require completion with a multiple choice test. When I asked him if it's his responsibility to retain pass / fail records, he said he's only required to instruct classes, perform demonstrations if applicable, and provide the test materials. Grading isn't his responsibility.
However, he's thinking about how to keep this process in place, now that we're socially distancing. He lives in the world of pen and paper.
All of this caused me to think of testing as a web-based model, with varying required controls available. Something requiring complexities like camera proctoring, or the ability to read or capture ID card data, would be very complex and require stringent security solutions. For something like this, an online portal could take a teacher's authorization code, and the student would sit in front of a battery of random questions.

A claim is as good as its veracity.
