QTI-IPS website – a whistle-stop tour of support resources Niall S F Barr niall.barr@glasgow.ac.uk
A slightly different approach to project web sites • Web site is an Amazon EC2 AMI (Amazon Machine Image) running on a server farm somewhere in Ireland • Temporary (memorable URL) http://cloud.niallbarr.me.uk/ for development instance • At the moment that really points to http://ec2-79-125-43-66.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/ but this changes every time the instance is restarted. • Instead of a semi-permanent information site it will become a permanent reusable resource that can be copied, initialised and modified as required.
Basic Features of the AMI (for geeks/IT support) • Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS • Apache 2 • Tomcat 6 (integrated with Apache) • MySQL • PHP 5 • Maxima • I’m using an Amazon Micro (Free Tier Eligible) server, but a higher specification instance can be used. • Upto 2 ECUs, 1 core, 613 MB RAM
What’s on the site so far? • MathAssessEngine (QTI player) • Includes lots of QTI examples • JAssess (QTI player) • Moodle (waiting to be connected to MathAssessEngine) • Eqiat (QTI authoring tool) • http://cloud.niallbarr.me.uk/
What is still to come? • SToMP II (QTI Player) • MathAssessEngine/Moodle integration • More example items • Downloadable copies of • Spectatus (QTI Assessment authoring) • Mathqurate (QTI Item editor) • QTIcat (QTI Profiling tool) • QTItalk – interactive QTI documentation • Lots of links to other QTI resources
