IMS Global Learning Consortium
Question and Test Interoperability Project Group

The Goal
The aims of this work are to build on the Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) version 2 items (and packaging) to address the aggregation of items into tests (a.k.a. test forms) and the reporting of test results both for obtaining item level data and for reporting summary scores.

In the QTI v2.0 specification, released in January 2005, there were three key objectives:
(1) Address relevant issues deferred from v1.0: a new information model defined with a new interaction model and a profile of XHTML to replace static material. Authors now have more control over the behavior and positioning of feedback. Support for cloning using item templates was also added.
(2) Define a method for putting QTI into content packages: a new document was also created dedicated to metadata and usage-data (item statistics).
(3) Describe a method for using QTI with Learning Design, Simple Sequencing, and the CMI data model.

The QTI v2.1 specification narrows the scope of the QTI v2.0 project to address the concepts of assessment and section or the reporting of results. In Public Draft since 2006, the QTI v2.1 specification has been widely implemented, but not to a defined profile that allows conformance testing and true interoperability. The project group is actively working with the above IMS Contributing Member organizations to define profiles of the v2.1 specification that will shape the final version of QTI.
