Question and Test Interoperability (QTI)- the exchange of item, test and results data between authoring tools, item banks, test construction tools, learning systems and assessment delivery systems, including accessible assessments.
Example: We will be able to move our digital assessments to the new platform because both systems use the QTI standard.
1EdTech has developed two tightly connected standards that the assessment community worldwide is using to improve learning. The first is QTI (Question and Test Interoperability) and the second is APIP® (Accessible Portable Item Protocol®). QTI enables the exchange of a wide range of rich questions and tests. QTI enables testing from formative quizzes to formal summative high stakes tests. And it allows all kinds of data to be transmitted between authoring tools, item banks, test construction tools, learning systems, and assessment delivery systems, and scoring administrative systems.
QTI provides an easier way to administer fully accessible digital assessments, both formative and summative, that provide actionable data in a more timely manner to teachers, students and parents to inform personalization of learning. For more information see 1EdTech's E-Assessment initiative and Question and Test Interoperability Project Group Activity. State and large district assessment leaders may be interested in participating in the State Assessment Leaders Innovation Leadership Network, for more information see the K-12 Innovation Leadership Networks.
There is also a full QTI Terms & Definitions document which defines QTI specific terminology.
