QTIViewer

QTIViewer is a freeware IMS Content Package and IMS QTI 1.* question viewer.

The QTI item engine, Oghma-C, is written in standard C++. Versions of it have been compiled as a PHP module for Windows and Linux and as a .NET DLL for ASP.NET as well as as a static library for Visual C++. For information on source code licencing please contact Research & Consultancy Services at the University of Strathclyde.  

If anyone wants a version of QTIViewer that can browse on-line content packages, let me know. That probably would be a fairly minor modification.

Future plans

QTIViewer was originally written as a demonstration of the Oghma-C item rendering and processing engine. Oghma-C supports most of the item types that are frequently used, and is a very accurate implementation of the parts of the QTI 1.2 specification that it supports.
Ideally, I would like to extend Oghma-C to support all reasonable QTI 1.2 items, however realistically I only expect to ever cover the requirements of the new CommonCartridge specification. I am working on a separate QTI 2.0 and 2.1 implementation which will eventually also get integrated into QTIViewer.

Intended future releases of QTI viewer are:

  • Version 1.1 - further improvements to CommonCartidge support, bug fixes and minor improvements to the user interface.
  • Version 1.5 - full support for viewing CommonCartridge content packages combining HTML pages and QTI assessments and items. Content packages will be able to be displayed in either an 'information mode', similar to the current display or a 'play mode', similar to the way they would be displayed to a student after uploading to a VLE.
  • Version 2.0 - support for displaying QTI 2.0 items.
  • Version 2.1 - support for playing QTI 2.1 assessments.
