Step 3: Choose an assessment type:

 

Linear Assessment Type:

Linear: deliver items in a sequential order. 

Linear Random: randomly delivers the items in a test based upon the blueprint instructions

Adaptive: computer adaptive test (CAT) delivery. This is ideal when the next item or set of items selected depends on the correctness of the test taker’s responses to the previous items. Adaptive testing means that the sequence of items presented to the test taker will be selected based on responses to the previous item.

Test Building

          Build supports the following assessment types:

  • Test.    Instructional support (hints, explanations) must be manually configured during assignment setup
  • Practice Test.    Automatically displays hints and explanations if available. 
  • Survey.  Surveys include background questions (multiple choice or short answer). All of the responses are added as attributes to the user’s profile.
