  8. A Simple Analogy - Part 2 • Testing Industry in the 2000s • Programs use Internet to deliver tests • Tagging of content dependent on test delivery system used by program • Items not portable across systems • 2010 - APIP developed • Goal for 2010s • Test delivery systems modified to interpret APIP • Item writing systems modified to produce APIP items • Items portable across systems • Caveat: Student rostering systems modified to produce APIP student access profiles
