QTI test questions

This section of the QTItalk web site contains links to various QTI-XML files that can be used for testing QTI 1.2.1 item rendering and processing. This is work in progress, and liable to change frequently. Not all of the QTI has not been checked properly, and there are almost certainly some errors, as well as a few items of dubious validity.
I originally put this site together for my own use, however,
if anyone else finds this a useful resource then they are welcome to make use of it. I am in the process of building up a proper testing resource which will contain most of the same items, but will also eventually allow other people to upload example items, and will have a search system.

These pages are designed for a browser that understands QTI, but the chances are you're not using one, so read this if you have problems.

Browser notes

Clicking on the xml links has different behavious with different browsers - if you're using a recent version of Mozilla, Netscape or Firebird you'll see formatted xml with syntax highlighting, and will be able to save the page. With Internet Explorer 6 some files will display and others will give an error depending on the xml declarations at the start of the file and, I think, Opera, Konqueror and Internet Explorer 5 display the content, but not the tags. With these browsers use the "save target as" option to save the xml file locally.
