9.3 Assessment Item Development

Introduction to Assessment Item Development

For many teachers, the types of assessment items seen in next generation online assessments vary greatly from the items used in their own assessments. This is not only true for the technology that is used, but also how these assessment items are written and how students interact with them. Next generation assessment items are not just items put into an online assessment tool. They are high quality assessment items that have an evidence-centered design and include universal design, accessibility, bias, and sensitivity considerations.

To help students prepare for next generation assessments, teachers need to have the skills necessary to develop these types of high quality assessment items. In this lesson, you will learn how to create next generation assessment items and put that knowledge into practice by creating your own.
