ALTA Automates Formative Assessment

The main components of Alta's automated assessment solution are:

curriculum analysis, design and representation
item writing methodologies
item performance monitoring
response types
test selection
journaling and replay
outcomes presentation
outcomes analyses

A subject sub-divides into topics, where progress within each topic is measured against level statements, and where each level statement is decomposed into a set of discrete criteria, where each criterion represents a unique well-defined learning objective.
