Hi folks,
Embarrassingly, it's been a while since I posted in.
The HELM project (large bank) has undergraduate maths for engineers, it's
free to UK HE and is available as QTI or QML:
http://www.lboro.ac.uk/research/helm/index.html
The COLA project (large bank) has questions for Scottish national
curriculum:
http://www.coleg.org.uk/ and search for COLA
Here's a nice example I like to use in demonstrations / talks:
http://case-learning.massey.ac.nz/
I like the content, but also if you live demo, it's coming from NZ, so a
useful exercise.
The Subject Centres have commissioned question creation in the past -
Physical Sciences have funded this:
http://www.physsci.heacademy.ac.uk/Resources/DevelopmentProjectsSummary.aspx
?id=203
I believe TAL at Bristol gained access to a Royal Society of Chemistry
question bank some time ago (is John Sims-Williams still on this list?)
Here at Loughborough we have around 18K questions in our central QMP
database. Anyone else running a central, database driven CAA system may find
they too have a large number of items after a few years.
The issues here seem (to me) above simply (??) the design of good questions.
There's the validity of the items (depending on the scenario of use), the
mechanism for creating them (support issues of coping with multiple authors
(payment?) and quality control), tagging / indexing / meta data, security /
access policies.
Anyone else got examples to share?
