QTI 2.1 Overview Pierre Gorissen, SURF SiX / Fontys University of Applied Science P.Gorissen@fontys.nl
What is QTI? • Question and Test Interoperability • An specification from the IMS GLC • A file format for questions and tests • A file format for reporting results • A runtime model for questions and tests(not bound to a particular technology)
QTI timeline • Conceived in 1999, v1.0 released in 2000 • Updated in 2001 (v1.1) and 2002 (v1.2) to improve and extend the model • By 2003 it was clear that a major revision was necessary, a quick fix (1.2.1) was followed by a complete rewrite • QTI v2.0 was published February 2005 • QTI v2.1 (PD2) published June 2006 • QTI v2.1 (Final) expected (early?) 2007
Changes • Re-alignment with other IMS specifications • Changes in the Item Content model • Changes on Assessment level • Implementation related changes
Re-alignment with other IMS specifications • IMS Contentpackaging Specification • IMS Learning Resource Meta-data Specification • IMS Learning Design Specification
Changes in the Item Content model • XHTML • MathML • Xinclude • Interactions • Adaptive items • Item templates • Inline feedback • Number formatting
Changes on Assessment level • Item reference • Pre-conditions and Branching • Summative and formative tests • Not just for “High Stakes Testing” !!
Implementation related changes • Conformance model • Full validation of items and assessments possible • Response processing templates • Use of external response processing • QTI Lite
QTI 2.1 TBD • Collect comments on Public Draft • Need for implementation(s) • new IMS requirement! • QTI 2.0 implementation demo available • http://qtitools.caret.cam.ac.uk/qtiv2/examples/V2examples.html
