Clifford C. Marsiglio, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis
Clifford Marsiglio is the Manager of Development for the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Testing Center. Mr. Marsiglio was instrumental in moving his department over to the then new World Wide Web in the mid-1990s and helmed the technology team that put one of the first Computer Adaptive Tests 'online' in 1996 utilizing a hybrid technology of WebStar, HyperCard and FileMaker. Focusing on less conventional testing applications, Marsiglio was one of the technical managers for an Automated Essay Scoring software in collaboration with Duke University, resulting in both academic publications and the eventual technology transfer to a major testing corporation.
Outside of his varied academic pursuits, Mr. Marsiglio has been a hobbyist programmer since the age of 14 and a commercial programmer since the age of 16 selling a rudimentary sequencing application that would eventually put him in contact with the music industry, leading to work with a number of charting artists and an award winning web site for professional musicians and eventually cheerfully abusing his connection with this industry by organizing and directing several charity events such as the Seraphim Foundation's Evening with the Reverend Al Green.
