Item analysis expansion
The biggest change in assessmentQ 2025.01 is the expansion of the module Item analysis. Some things have been added to this part.
Psychometric values have been introduced, including statistical measures such as p-value, a-value, rit and rir values, Cronbach’s alpha, and standard deviation. The module has undergone some visual updates as well. There is a new view that aggregates all data at the level of an assignment, and a tabbed view for assignment and item analysis.
Disclaimer: Item analysis is available for exams only. Exercises have been removed from the Item analysis module.
Schedules with a direct link
A new delivery type has been added to the Schedules module: Schedules with a direct link.
As a scheduler, you can now make your schedule available to your assessmentQ users via a direct link (for example, via your intranet, a third-party platform, e-mail, etc.) You can either:
-
- use a direct link to a schedule: when clicking on the link, the participants will have direct access to the schedule detail page from which they can start their assignment(s).
-
- use a direct link to an assignment in a schedule: when clicking on the link, the assignment in the schedule is immediately opened in the player.
Enhanced support for right-to-left languages
The support for right-to-left (RTL) languages has been considerably improved. Starting from assessmentQ 2025.01, the writing direction is automatically detected for most of assessmentQ item types.
The writing direction changes according to the language in which the content of the item is written in both the backoffice and in the player. This applies not only to the content blocks, but also to the answer block.
Other changes
Progress and item numbering on assignment level
Until today, the progress and item numbering on assignment level was only shown in case of free navigation. This has been expanded to linear navigation and free navigation within parts. In some cases, it is also available with adaptive assignments.
Removed features
- The direct link to an assignment has been removed from the assignments module and has been moved to the schedules with a direct link.
- The assignment template settings for showing the progress and showing the item numbering have been moved to the Navigation tab in the assignment template.
