[QTI] is my qti doc correct?

[Graham Smith]

Hi:

My earlier reply, as the contributions from Niall and Markus show, was too brief: I only suggested the minimum changes to allow the JAssess rendering engine to render the XML. As it stood, the XML would not validate against the schema, and as the others have said, you would need to add more to allow response processing.

I make two further suggestions: 

1. Use the more usual set of attributes to the assessmentItem heading, as used in the examples published with the QTI specs, like this:

<assessmentItem xmlns="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p0 http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p0.xsd"
    identifier="item1" title="item1" adaptive="false" timeDependent="false">

This will allow a rendering engine to check that the XML will validate against the xsd (schema), if the engine offers that facility. This would warn you of any missing attributes and avoid the more complex task of interpreting error messages from a rendering engine faced with invalid xml.

The second suggestion is that you might find it helpful to look at the working examples on:
