3. Tools Uniqurate: Uniqurate editor – Authoring, Editing, Packaging QTI Delivery Integration – QTIDI: LTI Connector – connect VLE with delivery software Delivery software : LTIQuizzes – deliver basic question types QTIWorks – all-singing, all-dancing delivery – includes facilities for Maths

4. Uniqurate – user-led design Uniqurate project: JISC Assessment and Feedback programme Objective: increase usage of QTI in HE by transferring technology from existing tools into "client" institutions Client partners describe what they need for teaching Uniqurate derived from user-experience driven Aqurate and multiple interaction power of Mathqurate Result – hopefully –a useful tool for authoring QTI content accessible to any user

5. Uniqurate - Question components Constituent parts providing functionality between question/exercise and student May map onto QTI elements – but may not! – hence the term question component “What do you want the question to do?” Questions typically composed of several components Several inputs in one question Identify components that provide optimal benefit

6. Uniqurate - modes Friendly mode – drag & drop components Intermediate mode – edit HTML parts of existing files: ideal for contextualising Expert mode – XML editor: customise questions when more control needed

7. Uniqurate - output As QTI XML file As packaged QTI XML file As package containing QTI XML file and media: images, stylesheets, etc.

15. Installation? Uniqurate – web application – no installation, just go to http://uniqurate.kingston.ac.uk/Uniqurate/startup http://uniqurate.kingston.ac.uk/Uniqurate/startup LTI Connector – Moodle, Blackboard and Sakai VLEs are LTI- enabled, so it needs someone (normally a system admin) to add tool URLs and shared secrets in the LTI configuration page. LTIQuizzes – a single.war file needs to be copied to a Tomcat server, then an XML configuration file is edited to add the LTI details (server names and shared secrets). QTIWorks – online demo at https://www2.ph.ed.ac.uk/qtiworks/ https://www2.ph.ed.ac.uk/qtiworks/
