Item Banking: Make Your SMEs More Productive
Developing item banks for credentialing tests is not easy! Manage teams of SMEs with role- and content-based access. The SMEs can log in and write items directly in the platform rather than wasting their time in Word or Google Docs.
Drive development with customizable workflow and assignments. Staff can review and approve items before usage. Store important metadata about each item, such as author, date created, statistics, reference/source, and which tests it is used on.
Set cutscores with the modified-Angoff approach be requiring the SMEs to leave Angoff ratings during review. Export the collated spreadsheet of ratings for easy analysis of inter-rater reliability, Beuk compromise, and more.
