Requirements on testing platform support

Considering all the design dimensions of CAT described above, the premier requirement on
a platform enabling to deliver CAT to learners in general is to provide a flexible and
configurable architecture that can be instantiated in a structured way for different use
cases. The following generic requirements can be derived from the plethora of approaches
proposed to be used in CAT:

 Requirement 1: Flexibility in testing strategy and item pool design–the platform

must be able to operate with arbitrary testing strategies and different item pool
designs.
 Requirement 2: Flexibility in item selection algorithm–the platform must be able to
use different item selection strategies for the identification of first item and for
succeeding items.
 Requirement 3: Flexibility in specifying the termination criterion–the platform must
allow for flexible specification under which constraints the test is executed and when
it is finished.
For usage in online learning settings, further requirements on the platform can be identified,
which are not directly related to CAT:

 Requirement 4: Possibility of technical integration with learning platforms on

different layers–the platform should allow to be integrated in arbitrary learning
platform on user interface, functional and/or data layer, enabling external platforms
to provide data handing, presentation of tests to users or functional integration with
other features of the external platform to support examinees during testing.
 Requirement 5: Ability to display and evaluate items stemming from arbitrary
domains–the platform must support the presentation and evaluation of items that
require domain-specific display and data representation. It furthermore must enable
domain-specific ways of interaction for examinees to provide answers.
Assessment software is mainly used by educational professionals to create and administer
tests to students via digital platform. Tests and assessments are designed to be taken on
computers, tablets, or other digital devices.
Assessment software provides instructors with a format for writing questions and inserting
answers, which in turn allows students to take assessments through a portal or mobile app.
Once assessments are completed, assessment software grades the test, instantly offering
scores upon completion. It is generally considered the preferred alternative to
environmentally damaging paper-and-pencil assessments.
Assessment software can be used as an independent tool, but it typically works in
conjunction with other types of education software such as student information systems
(SIS) and learning management systems (LMS).

Canvas

LMS adoption. That’s why Canvas is adopted faster and deeper (or, is used in more ways by more
users) than any other LMS. So, in the end, investing in 21st century education technology actually
makes teaching and learning easier (like it’s supposed to). Canvas is the educational revolution by
Instructure, the technology company that makes smart software that makes people smarter. In
