MULLER Florian, JADOUL Raynald, BOGAERTS Jerome, CONDE Laure Public Research Centre Henri Tudor 29, avenue John F. Kennedy – L-‐1855 Luxembourg-‐Kirchberg Building on its previous experiences of developing supportive processes
and tools dedicated to the mobile assessment [1], and fully committed
to the enforcement of widely accepted standards like QTI [2], TAO, an
open and versatile computer-based assessment platform [3], recently
experimented on the porting of QTI item types to the mobile devices.
This poster describes the motivation, the challenges, the technological
solutions, and the outcomes of this experimentation.
–o–
Mobile devices differ from traditional computer set-ups in many ways:
1) hardware capabilities (display resolution, keyboard availability, GPS,
motion sensor, and so on); 2) operating system and software services;
3) interactions modes with the device (examples: touch screen, stylus);
4) connectivity (i.e. Internet access, WiFi, 3G,...)
The project structured in two steps: first, identifying the shortcomings of
TAO’s QTI item types with regard to the mobile devices, the constraints,
the required adaptations. Second, porting TAO QTI to mobile devices.

JavaScript Design, mobile capabiliZes, etc. Manage, catch, use touch events (e.g. jquery drag & drop)… …so many challenges! getSubjectName logEvent(‘xyz’) Re-‐import it ? Future development setScore(1) All these researches, experimentations, and solutions will be useful for the
coming versions of TAO ! Mobile technologies are part of the future of CBA,
so it’s obvious that we should go for it !
