Introduction

The QTI Training guide gives a technical overview of the IMS QTI specification. It is aimed at those wishing a deeper insight into how questions and tests are internally constructed in XML.

Currently the guide comprises two main chapters; it is hoped that over time more material can be added to it (for example, a list of currently available tools and services which support QTI).
