Enhancing Computer Assisted Assessment Using Rubrics in a QTI Editor

Abstract

With the aim of facilitating teachers the use of good techniques in computer assisted assessment, this paper proposes the integration of rubric functionalities in an editor compliant with the IMS Question and Test Interoperability specification (QTI). Teachers can organize the information of an eQuestionnaire using the QTI-rubric approach. They can use (and reuse) QTI elements without having a technical background or knowledge of the specification. The QTIrubric enables automatic formative feedback for learners and the results can serve them as a personal evidence of their knowledge and capabilities.
