JISC

At the JISC/CETIS conference it was recommended that the community needed to ‘kick start’ the use of the IMS Question and Test Interoperability version 2.0 specifications. At this meeting it was felt that in order to achieve this there needed to be a robust set of tools and services that conformed to the QTIv2 specification.

Methodology

The methodology is as stated in the project plan; we used an agile approach to the design and implementation; this included the FREMA approach to designing Web services. We also interviewed experts and possible stakeholders to get a wider picture as to how this service might be used. We validated the system by using test question from Graham Smith (these are recognised as being the gold standard for QTIv2). We also used the questions developed as part of the CATS project and questions from E3N which have be upgraded to version two.
