The Open Service Interface Definitions for the org.osid.assessment service.
The Assessment OSID provides the means to create, access, and take
assessments. An Assessment
may represent a quiz, survey, or
other evaluation that includes assessment Items.
The OSID
defines methods to describe the flow of control and the relationships among
the objects. Assessment Items
are extensible objects to
capture various types of questions, such as a multiple choice or an asset
submission.
The Assessment service can br broken down into several distinct services:
Each of these service areas are covered by different session and object interfaces. The object interfaces describe both the structure of the assessment and follow an assessment management workflow of first defining assessment items and then authoring assessments based on those items. They are:
Item
: a question and answer pair Response:
a response to an Item
question Assessment
: a set of Items
AssessmentSection:
A grouped set of Items
AssessmentOffering:
An Assessment
available for taking AssessmentTaken:
An AssessmentOffering
that has been completed or in progress The AssessmentSession
is used to take an assessment. It
captures various ways an assessment can be taken which may include time
constraints, the ability to suspend and resume, and the availability of an
answer.
Taking an Assessment
involves first navigating through
AssessmentSections.
An AssessmentSection
is
an advanced authoring construct used to both visually divide an
Assessment
and impose additional constraints. Basic assessments are
assumed to always have one AssessmentSection
even if not
explicitly created.
A basic authoring session is available in this package to map
Items
to Assessments.
More sophisticated authoring
using AssessmentParts
and sequencing is available in the
Assessment Authoring OSID.
Assessments,
AssessmentsOffered,
AssessmentsTaken,
and Items
may be organized into
federateable catalogs called Banks
.
The Assessment OSID includes an Assessment Authoring OSID for more advanced authoring and sequencing options.
