[QTI] QTI examples packages

[R.Bacon at surrey.ac.uk]

Hi Hagen,
 
If you are after quantity rather than quality, then the Physical Sciences
Question bank has over 1.5k questions in QTI v2.1, translated from QTIv1.2
by Steve's migrator. The vast majority are MCQ's, but there are a few other types.
 
You can find it by following 'Q' for Question bank at the HEA Physical Sciences
web site at
 
http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/physsci/
 
If you have an . . .ac.uk email address you can register automatically,otherwise
email me for an account.
 
Best wishes,
Dick Bacon.

Hi All:

I imagine most people will know about my own collection of IMS QTI 
version 2 examples, but some may not.

These include examples of the XML, working examples, and in many cases 
notes on the implementation. I would be interested to know if Hagen 
has seen these, and if he has found them useful.

At present these are, courtesy of David McKain, tempoorarily housed at
http://www2.ph.ed.ac.uk/qtiv2/examples/V2examples.html.

We are hoping to get a more permanent home , courtesy of CETIS.

There is a rather less up-to-date version of the same collection at
http://qtitools.caret.cam.ac.uk/qtiv2/examples/V2examples.html

courtesy of CARET, tho it is unlikley that this set will be maintained 
or extended.

I should add, in respect of the ph.ed.ac.uk set, that some of the 
MathAssess examples are work-in-progress, and one or two of these may 
give inconsistent results.

I hope, subject to support, to be able to extend this collection in future.

Regards to all

Graham Smith
