Generally, it is after an experimental phase in Non-adaptive test mode and statistical analysis of data by an evaluation specialist that the difficulty levels of previously approved items can be manually entered in the Editing module.
The test therefore remains in Non-adaptive mode (No in the Adaptive test field of the Settings page) until such time as the administrator is informed that a sufficient number of items in the database have been calibrated.
To configure a non-adaptive test:
Ensure that the white triangle in the green circle icon is pointing toward the top
NOTE: Once the Settings have been saved, the modality section of the selected test (Adaptive or Non-adaptive) deploys automatically (white triangle pointing toward the top).
You can enlarge the text field as needed by clicking and dragging the bottom right corner of the field. All text fields are accompanied by an editing toolbar. Most of the options are similar to those found in other editing software. To view their functions, point your cursor at each option's icon.
