Innovative Item Types Publication Released
The Association of Test Publishers (ATP), working in collaboration with the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) has released a co-authored publication on Innovative Item Types. This project, which includes both a white paper and an accompanying portfolio of sample items, provides an overview of considerations and best practices for incorporating alternative item types into an assessment. The focus of the paper is on credentialing/certification assessments, but many of the same considerations and processes apply to other types of examinations (i.e., assessments for use in educational, industrial/organizational, or clinical settings). This publication is downloadable and available to ATP Members from the Guidelines and Surveys page of the ATP website in the Members Only section. [Members can log in and use the Guidelines and Surveys in the Quicklinks section on their landing page.] It will be available early next year for purchase in hard copy, for nonmembers.
