QTI Assessment Platform

A modern web application for creating, managing, and organizing educational assessments following the QTI 3.0 specification. This project demonstrates the implementation of a teacher-focused assessment platform similar to Edulastic.

Project Overview

This platform provides educators with tools to:

• Create and manage QTI 3.0 compliant assessment items
• Organize items into comprehensive tests
• Manage curriculum-aligned content
• Import/export QTI compatible content

Core Features

1. Assessment Item Management

   • Multiple interaction types (choice, text-entry, etc.)
   • QTI 3.0 compliant structure
   • Rich content editing
   • Item bank organization

2. Test Assembly

   • Section-based organization
   • Linear/non-linear navigation
   • Individual/simultaneous submission modes
   • QTI test part management

3. Curriculum Integration

   • Subject-based organization
   • Grade level alignment
   • Educational standard mapping
   • Content hierarchies

Technical Architecture

Frontend Stack

• Next.js with TypeScript
• Material-UI components
• Formik for form management
• Yup for validation
• Zustand for state management

API Integration

• RESTful endpoints
• QTI 3.0 validation
• XML generation/parsing
• Error handling patterns

Development Patterns

Error Handling Strategy

1. Attempt operation
2. Detect failure
3. Show error
4. Provide recovery option

Data Flow

• Unidirectional data flow
• Type-safe interfaces
• Validated state updates
• Consistent error handling

Getting Started

1. Installation

   npm install

2. Development

   npm run dev

3. Building

   npm run build
