Minibix: Item banking with web services
The Minibix system was developed from an existing prototype item bank
system in use for high-stakes testing at the University of Cambridge. The
system has been developed over the last year with support from the JISC e-
Learning Programme. This project has redeveloped the system based on
version 2 of the IMS Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) specification and
is publishing the resulting system under an open source license.
In this paper, we propose a simple service model for describing the authoring,
banking, test construction and delivery of assessment content. The item
banking model is implemented by the Minibix system and will be
demonstrated in conjunction with authoring, test construction and delivery
systems developed by the sister projects: AQuRate (Kingston University) and
AsDel (University of Southampton).
These services, as part of a wider e-Framework, could enable tool integration
on a scale suitable for interacting with large-scale item banks. Private banks
are already used routinely in high-stakes summative assessment but open
repositories of items for formative use are now becoming available. For
example, the E3AN item bank for Electrical and Electronic Engineering or the
item bank for the Physical Sciences recently announced by the HEA
Additional file 1: of A systematic review of prognostic factors at the end of life for people with a hematological malignancy
Prognostic factors identified as associated with mortality. In Additional file 1, the findings for each prognostic factor are displayed for each study. If a prognostic factor was tested in a study, the results are reported for that factor (i.e. if the factor was significant and the direction of association). It is also recorded if results were not reported. (DOCX 29Â kb
