With the QTI 2.1 specification finalised and released, we’re seeing significant global investment in tools that implement the spec. Tools developed by JISC projects have been central. It has taken a while, but since March this year, IMS Question and Test Interoperability 2.1 has been released as a final specification. That means that people can implement [...]

With most software development project in the JISC Assessment & Feedback programme drawing to a close, it’s a good time to look at some common themes in their findings. There’s a small, but perfectly formed little cluster of four projects in ’strand C’ of the Assessment & Feedback programme. Strand C is the techy corner, because [...]

As the QTI 2.1 specification gets ready for final release, and new communities start picking it up, conforming tools demonstrated their interoperability at the JISC - CETIS 2012 conference.

Badges can be seen as recognisable tokens of status or achievement. But tokens don't work in a vacuum, they depend on other things to make them work. Perhaps looking at these may help us understand how they might be used, both for portfolios and elsewhere.

While most of Europe was on the beach, a dedicated group of QTI vendors gathered in Koblenz, Germany to demo what a standard should do: enable interoperability between a variety of software tools. A total of twelve tools were demonstrated for the attendees of the IMS quarterly meeting that was being held at the University of [...]
