About
Every credentialing organization has a business process to ready new items for pretesting. Strasz calls this business process Item Approval Workflow. The business process varies by organization, but the essentials are similar. Newly written items, that may or may not have been committee reviewed, are added as part of the input process. The new items may have been created in Pro!’s Remote Item Authoring module or imported from an item-authoring vendor. Items are made available for Pretesting as a result of the Item Approval Workflow process.
About
Tests include pictures and other media more frequently than in the past. Often an item contains two or more media components, and the components may appear in the stimulus, stem, answer choices, or all three. These media components create issues for item banking systems. Pro! is designed to seamlessly manage media and offers an integrated digital asset management system workflow.
About
