For years now, PC/Desktops have been present in the classroom providing children and students digital learning environments. These learning environments are helping the teachers by providing interactive learning aids where children and students can independently work and learn. In primary schools, classrooms are filled with just a couple of PCs in order to allow children to learn how to use a computer. Many of these PCs include special software written specifically for kids, where they can learn to practice basic mathematics, writing, language, etc. Most of the time these PCs are not even connected to the Internet, because of the nature of the applications and run on local machines.

Over the last year we have been working very hard on our new and improved QTI Assessment Delivery Engine; version 3. With the previous versions we were more or less stuck to the QTI rendering and implemented a lot of custom developed code around it to get it working. Many of these features have been rewritten and implemented into the product’s core of version 3, of course taking into account the IMS QTI conformance.
For many of our customers in the Education domain we have spent a lot of time looking and exploring the impact of technology; in this particularly case especially with regards to digital assessments. Developing good digital assessment techniques is very important in order to measure and examine what students are actually learning.
We are proud and excited to share with you a short presentation on Digital assessments using the QTI delivery engine. This presentation will give you some insight on the capabilities of our Assessment Delivery Engine with use of the latest QTI standards. QTI is an Open Standard determined by the IMS Global organization and provides a solid basis to support interoperability for delivering assessments.
Just click hereand you can experience an assessment for yourself. Our demo is a fun quiz all about The Netherlands using different questions types based on the QTI spec, some more advanced than others. The assessment engine will deliver these questions through any browser type, making it possible to assess on virtually any platform.
If you are not familiar with digital assessments with the use of the QTI delivery engine, here is a what we can offer:
Multi-platform assessments
Use in any existing Web Application
Customization and extension
High performance and scalable environments
Security and a robust solution
To discuss possibilities on how to tailor to your specific requirements and for more information just drop us a note. For now good luck with your assessment!
Vrijdag 22 oktober organiseerde SURF Foundation een bijeenkomst over de stand van zaken met betrekking tot IMS QTI 2.1 in Nederland. Namens JTeam heb ik in een presentatie uiteengezet hoe naar ons idee de toepassing van deze prachtige onderwijsstandaard vlot kan worden getrokken.
