  1. Uniqurate and QTIDI ProjectsPaul Neve - Kingston UniversitySue Milne & Niall Barr – University of GlasgowFeedback-Rich Formative Assessment

  2. Partners Technical partners: Client partners: Informal partners:

  3. Tools Uniqurate: Uniqurate editor– Authoring, Editing, Packaging QTI Delivery Integration – QTIDI: LTI Connector – connect VLE with delivery software Delivery software: LTIQuizzes – deliver basic question types QTIWorks– all-singing, all-dancing delivery – includes facilities for Maths

  4. Uniqurate – user-led design • Uniqurate project: JISC Assessment and Feedback programme • Objective: increase usage of QTI in HE by transferring technology from existing tools into "client" institutions • Client partners describe what they need for teaching • Uniqurate derived from user-experience driven Aqurate and multiple interaction power of Mathqurate • Result – hopefully –a useful tool for authoring QTI content accessible to any user

  5. Uniqurate - Question components • Constituent parts providing functionality between question/exercise and student • May map onto QTI elements – but may not! – hence the term question component • “What do you want the question to do?” • Questions typically composed of several components • Several inputs in one question • Identify components that provide optimal benefit

  6. Uniqurate - modes • Friendly mode – drag & drop components • Intermediate mode – edit HTML parts of existing files: ideal for contextualising • Expert mode – XML editor: customise questions when more control needed

  7. Uniqurate - output • As QTI XML file • As packaged QTI XML file • As package containing QTI XML file and media: images, stylesheets, etc.

  8. Uniqurate – checking your question • QTI Works https://www2.ph.ed.ac.uk/qtiworks/ will render all of the Uniqurate questions – accessible direct from Uniqurate question editor • Jassesshttp://qti-support.gla.ac.uk/qtiv2ipspkge/SourceFiles/examples/JAssessIntro.html (or ZIP file available from Sue) will run all Uniqurate questions

  9. Uniqurate – tests • Assemble questions into a test • Choose settings • Output is a zip file containing the test and all the questions

  10. Uniqurate – checking your test • QTI Works https://www2.ph.ed.ac.uk/qtiworks/ will validate Uniqurate tests, but does not yet run them • Jassesshttp://qti-support.gla.ac.uk/qtiv2ipspkge/SourceFiles/examples/JAssessIntro.html (or ZIP file available from Sue) will run all Uniqurate tests

  11. LTI Connector for VLEs Our simple QTI 2.1 Assessment Tool - LTIQuizzes Connecty thing (LTI) Learning System Our fancy QTI 2.1 Assessment Tool – QTI Works

  12. LTIQuizzes - basic delivery software • Connects to VLE through LTI Connector • Basic interactions: multiple-choice, drop-down, short text, numerical input… (several in one question if required) • Numerical randomisation • Feedback targeted on expected inputs • Supports most of Uniqurate’s questions

  13. QTIWorks – QTIv2.1 delivery software • Validates questions and tests – reports problems • Supports all QTIv2.1 UK HE profile • Supports input and manipulation of Maths expressions • Full randomisation, including Maths expressions • Feedback may be targeted on analysis of input • Connects to VLE through LTI Connector • … available late summer 2012

  14. QTIWorks – QTIv2.1 delivery software • Validates questions and tests – reports problems • Supports all QTIv2.1 UK HE profile • Supports input and manipulation of Maths expressions • Full randomisation, including Maths expressions • Feedback may be targeted on analysis of input • Connects to VLE through LTI Connector • … question delivery already available, tests expected in October 2012

  15. Installation? • Uniqurate – web application – no installation, just go to http://uniqurate.kingston.ac.uk/Uniqurate/startup • LTI Connector – Moodle, Blackboard and Sakai VLEs are LTI-enabled, so it needs someone (normally a system admin) to add tool URLs and shared secrets in the LTI configuration page. • LTIQuizzes – a single .war file needs to be copied to a Tomcat server, then an XML configuration file is edited to add the LTI details (server names and shared secrets). • QTIWorks – online demo at https://www2.ph.ed.ac.uk/qtiworks/
