Multimedia approaches to educational testing

Cheng Irene’s book examines how multimedia interfaces can shape the design and assessment of educational test items. Its examples range from games for physics concepts and interactive graphics for chemistry questions to approaches for assessing musical skills. The discussion also covers adaptive difficulty, partial credit for incorrect answers, and the use of Item Response Theory to estimate the difficulty of mathematics items. Cultural and linguistic considerations in learning, along with item shells for human-computer interaction and cell phones, broaden the scope beyond question design alone. Together, these topics make the book a survey of design and evaluation questions at the intersection of educational assessment and multimedia technology.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Educators and assessment designers exploring technology-supported test questions
  • Readers interested in multimedia applications across science, mathematics, music, and language learning

Book overview

In this book, we review many examples of multimedia item types for testing. We also outline how games can be used to test physics concepts -- discuss designing chemistry item types with interactive graphics; study how culture-specific linguistics can help inner-city kids and new immigrants learn better; suggest approaches for automatically adjusting difficulty level in interactive graphics-based questions; and propose strategies for giving partial marks for incorrect answers. We also study how to test different cognitive skills, such as music, using multimedia interfaces and also evaluate the effectiveness of our model. Methods for estimating difficulty levels of mathematical item types using Item Response Theory (IRT) will be discussed. Examples of item shells for human computer interaction and cell phones will be shown.
