Dear Colleagues,
 
The following new publication should be of interest to all on this list, covering a range of eassessment topics including a taxonomy of digital item types, guidelines for developing eassessments and an evaluation of the value of QTI for question design.  There's a link to the free pdf download at the bottom of the message below and it's definitely worth downloading.
 
Best wishes,
Rowin
 
 
Title:
Design and Development of Digital Closed Questions: A Methodology for
Midsized Projects in Higher Education
ISBN 9789078887065

Description:

A publication from the SURF project "Active Learning, Transparent
Assessment" (Actief Leren, Transparant Beoordelen - ALTB) (Hartog,
2004).

The ALTB projects primary aim was to provide a methodology for design
and development of digital closed questions in higher education. The
research question of the ALTB project was essentially: 'How and under
what conditions is it possible to support the design and development of
digital closed questions in higher education? The answer should support
the rationale for the methodology.

This book reflects the experience in design and development of a little
more than 2000 of closed questions in fifteen small to midsized projects
at four universities: Wageningen University (WU), Vrije Universiteit
(VU), Delft University of Technology (TUDelft) and Fontys University of
Applied Science (Fontys) and converts this experience in a methodology.
Practical problems in the earlier projects led to literature searches,
formation of theory and application of methodological results in
subsequent projects. Thus, design is the core of this book. The
methodology presented in this book is the result of a design process and
the methodology is a methodology for the design and development of
digital closed questions.

The SURF ALTB project was carried out in 2005 and 2006.
