Learning Assessment type - Details

Here is the current model:

<learningAssessment>

• <learningAssessmentMeta>

  • includes: duration/timelimit, shortdesc, instructorNotes, studentNotes, audience

  </learningAssessmentMeta>

  <learningAssessmentBody>

  • <learningAssessmentIntro/> (optional)

    <learningAssessmentDuration/ (optional)

    <learningAssessmentInteractions/>

    • each with <topicref href="remediation_content">

      • feedback type

    <learningAssessmentSummary/> (optional)

  </learningAssessmentBody>

</learningAssessment>

Content elements needed to support a Learning Assessment

What these things mean

• learningAssessmentMeta

  • Administrative and other data about the assessment, for example, duration or time limit, short description, notes to the instructor or proctor, intended audience, etc.

• learningAssessmentBody

  • A wrapper element for the assessement proper.

• learningAssessmentIntro

  • Introductory statement about the assessment which might include things like its purpose or origin or context.

• learningAssessmentDuration

  • General free form statements about how long the assessment should take or how much time is strictly allowed.

• learningAssessmentInteractions

  • A wrapper element for all the interactions (questions, solicitations, etc.) of the assessment. The model for these interactions is still being discussed. They could be those provided by IMS in their QTI lite implementation if QTI. Each enclosed interaction includes a topicref element which points to remediation content if the interaction is answered incorrectly. This remediation content is just a pointer back to existing content and not original content authored for the specific remediation.

• learningAssessmentSummary

  • General summary statement about the assessment which might include pass/fail/certification criteria.

DTD Element Definitions (partial listing)

Note Some elements here are available from the generic topic, such as title, shortdesc, prolog. These can be included or not in learningAssessment, depending on our design decisions.

<!ELEMENT learningAssessment   (%title;, (%titlealts;)?, (%shortdesc;)?, (%prolog;)?, %learningAssessmentBody;,  (%related-links;)?, (%learningAssessment-info-types;)* )>
<!ATTLIST learningAssessment  id ID #REQUIRED

DTD specialization attributes for Learning Assessment topic

<!ATTLIST learningAssessment     %global-atts; class CDATA "- topic/topic learningAssessment/learningAssessment ">
<!ATTLIST learningAssessmentBody %global-atts; class CDATA "- topic/body learningAssessment/learningAssessmentBody ">

Example markup for a Learning Assessment topic

<learningAssessment id="testAssess">
<title>Certification Test</title>
<shortdesc>This is the first of four assessments providing network administration certification opportunity.</shortdesc>
<prolog>
<metadata><audience job="administering"></audience></metadata>
</prolog>
<learningAssessmentbody>
<intro>Network adminstration requires a working knowledge of some IEEE specifications.</intro>
<duration><timeValue>5 minutes</timeValue></duration> 
<interaction>
<p>Which one of the listed standards committees is responsible for developing the token ring specification?</p>
<ul>
<li>A: IEEE 802.3<xref href="remediateA.dita"></xref></li>
<li>B: IEEE 802.5<xref href="congratsB.dita"></xref></li>
