SCOPE
Due to the digitalization of a huge amount of learning processes, the interest for digital assessment methods has been growing in recent years. However, creating test items by hand is a time- and resource consuming procedure.
In the special session, we will discuss Automatic Item Generation (AIG), which is a process that significantly differs from the traditional way of item creation. In AIG, experts do not write single items; rather they create a highly structured representation of the subject area, which is called cognitive model. Afterwards, experts create an item model that can be used as a pattern for an item pool. Lastly, software is used to create a bunch of items by combining the cognitive and the item model.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Assessment
- Metrics and Performance Measurement
- Authoring Tools, Editors, and eLearning Platforms
- Course Design and eLearning Curriculae
- Feedback and Learning Support
- AI Support for Item Creation
