15 Questions
What is the main advantage of adaptive testing over traditional linear testing?
Shorter tests and increased score precision
How does adaptive testing personalize the delivery of assessments?
By adjusting the number of items in the test for different test takers
What are the components of an adaptive test design, as mentioned in the text?
Item selection algorithm and scoring algorithm
In what way can adaptive tests adapt the nature of the items?
By matching item difficulty to examinee ability

Move from live observation of performance tasks to asynchronous evaluation
In what format are hand-written essays and worked math solutions often presented to raters now?
Digitized and presented to raters online
What types of complex performances are being captured in video, simulation, or virtual reality contexts for asynchronous evaluation?
Theater recitals and gymnastics routines
When might very complex operations still be assessed live during the act by a trained observer?
When alternative capture formats are considered sufficient
Where can other assessment output be presented to human scorers within an online scoring software platform?
In the original format only
