Test development

This e-learning provides the basic knowledge required by everyone involved in the process of developing and accessing different types of tests.
It is created for teachers to help them improve their skills to develop tests and test questions.
This e-learning is focused on questions used in e-learning, so mostly closed questions.
Learning goals
After completing this e-learning, you know how:
- to develop objective and open-ended questions, distractors and answer models.
- to choose and use suitable test types and question types.
How to use
Perhaps you say:
"I already know enough about developing questions and tests, I do not need an e-learning on test development."
You are a teacher, so perhaps you already know a lot about test development (maybe even more then me).
This e-learning is not designed to do the exercises step by step. You could go through the module quickly, but perhaps even for you there are new things to learn.
You can jump back and forth in the e-learning or only do the exercises from the chapters you find interesting.
But I would ask you to at least start with this e-learning module because I believe everyone can always learn new things.
Literature
This e-learning is based on:
- 2015, Teelen Kennismanagement, Toetskwaliteit in de praktijk: Hoe maak ik goede toetsvragen met gesloten en open vragen?
- 2011, Teelen Kennismanagement, Testdevelopment made practical: How to create good questions and tests.
