Wason: Inital release of QTI 1.01:1.0 XSD. 2001-03-30 Thomas. D. Wason: as QTI 1.1:1.0 XSD. NOTE: THIS XSD may not be consistent with the QTI V1.1 information model. It is consistent with the 1.1 DTD. 2001-04-04 Thomas D. Wason: QTI V1.1 XSD 1.0 reduced to QTI Lite V1.1 XSD 1.0 Reused attribute declarations elements Explanation: Alternative material to be displayed if the primary material cannot be rendered. Type: PCDATA Notes: Explanation: The conditions to be applied to the variables as a part of their processing. Type: Notes: Each of the conditions provides a boolean test. Consecutive conditions are linked as an 'AND' condition. Explanation: Declaration of variables to be used. Type: Notes: Each type of variable must be declared before it is used. Explanation: Display feedback trigger. Type: Notes: This is the Item object. An Item object contains all of the information for the presentation of a question and its subsequent processing to the user. The structure of the Item includes the actual question and its presentation format, the range of possible responses, the ways in which the responses are to be processed, and the possible solutions and hints to the Item. Explanation: Feedback in response to the evaluation. Type: Notes: Feedback in response to a trigger of response, processing, hints and solutions. Explanation: Textual material to be presented. Type: PCDATA Notes: Explanation: The container for material to be presented. Type: Notes: Each type of material has its own sub-element. Explanation: Graphic/image material to be presented. Type PCDATA Notes: Default type is jpeg. The parser must be capable of handling others in the format of '***/***'. Explanation: Reference to material that is defined elsewhere within the file. Type: PCDATA Notes: Explanation: Textual material to be presented. Type: PCDATA Notes: Explanation: To invert the value of the enclosed variable test. Type: Notes: Explanation: Assessment/Section/Item objectives presented to the user. Type: Notes: Each objective will be defined with respect to a view e.g. tutor, candidate, etc. Explanation: Condition for conditions not defined. Type: Notes: 'True' returned if not defined condition occurs. Explanation: Declaration of the Item scoring variables. Type: Notes: Explanation: The question response and rendering container. Type: Notes: Each Presentation will consist of response types and rendering forms A simple presentation has just one ResponseType whereas complex responses will be based upon several ResponseTypes. Explanation: Proprietary extension support Section processing. Type: Any valid element, PCDATA. Notes: Acts as an extension element for any extensions to Section processing. Explanation: Control of the Item response evaluation. Type: Notes: Explanation: The range of possible responses available. Type: Notes: The attributes used depend upon the form of rendering. Explanation: The LID type of response expected and its possible rendering. Type: Notes: Logical identifier of the selected response(s). Explanation: Evaluation processing of the user Item responses. Type: Notes: Explanation: The view specific description of how to attempt the questions. Type: Standard CONTENT. Notes: Will not normally contain content specific to a question. Explanation: The type of processing to be applied to the variable. Type: Notes: The variable must have be defined. Explanation: Condition for an unanswered response. Type: Notes: 'True' returned if no response supplied. Explanation: Variable equivalence comparison test. Type: Notes: 'True' is returned if equivalent. simpleTypes Abstracr complexTypes
