General Terms

  • IMS QTI - Specification published by IMS Global for the development of interoperable assessments and questions. The QTI v2.1 specification is used by LifeGuide as the backend for its interventions. Although, an intervention is not a traditional examination, it is a form of assessment in the wider sense (c.f. a clinical assessment).
  • #Interaction - part of the QTI specification that defines how a user is allowed to interact with a given question, for example whether a free text response is allowed, or perhaps a choice from a list of options.

QTI Interactions in LifeGuide

  • choiceInteraction - an interaction that models multiple choice questions, with both single and multiple responses.
  • sliderInteraction - an interaction that allows a user to select a numeric value between lower and upper bounds with a given step size.
