Assessment - Overview
Assessment specifications address the need of defining common formats and procedures for the exchange of evaluation material among different e-learning tools. The most outstanding proposal in this field is the Question & Test Interoperability specification from the IMS consortium.
This specification is focused on enabling the following functionalities:- To provide question/item banks to users regardless of virtual learning environment (VLE) deployed by the user.
- To use question/item banks from various sources within the same VLE.
- To support the tools to develop new question/item banks in a consistent manner.
- To report test results in a consistent manner.

The IMS Question & Test Interoperability (QTI) specification describes a data model for the representation of question (assessmentItem) and test (assessmentTest) data and their corresponding results reports. Therefore, the specification enables the exchange of test and results data between authoring tools, item banks, test constructional tools, learning systems and assessment delivery systems. The data model is described abstractly, using UML to facilitate binding to a wide range of data-modelling tools and programming languages, however, for interchange between systems a binding is provided to the industry standard eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and use of this binding is strongly recommended. The IMS QTI specification has been designed to support both interoperability and innovation through the provision of well-defined extension points. These extension points can be used to wrap specialized or proprietary data in ways that allows it to be used alongside items that can be represented directly.IMS Question & Test Interoperability |
