Using Computerized Formative Testing to Support Personalized Learning in Higher Education: An Application of Two Assessment Technologies
Abstract
Computerized testing provides many benefits to support formative assessment in higher education. However, the advent of computerized formative testing has raised daunting new challenges, particularly in the areas of item development and test construction. Large numbers of items are required because they are continuously administered to students. Automatic item generation is a relatively new but rapidly evolving assessment technology that may be used to address this challenge. Once the items are generated, tests must be assembled that measure the same content areas with the same difficulty level using different sets of items. Automated test assembly is an assessment technology that may be used to address this challenge. To date, the use of automated methods for item development and test construction has been limited. The purpose of this chapter is to address these limitations by describing and illustrating how recent advances in the technology of assessment can be used to permit computerized formative testing to promote personalized learning.
