Application

All items will be created using the CoreSpring Authoring Tools. To create an item question, type in the text box, and insert an interaction type, such as multiple choice, fill in the blank, ordering, graphing, and more. An item can contain a single interaction type or be multi-part with several questions and interactions. You can Add Feedback (optional) for student responses and change the Scoring of an item to allow for partial credit or to adjust the weighting of a multi-part item. To test the item, you can click the Preview Question button before finalizing it. In order for the Collection to be complete, you must create ten individual items. Items will be judged based on the trait-scoring rubric and not the specific form of an item. Be sure to create items that can elicit evidence of the mastery of the standard(s) that you select in the Item Profile tab.

The profile contains information and key data used to store and find an item (e.g., Common Core State Standard alignment, Bloom's Taxonomy assignment, key skills, and copyright information). Item writers are encouraged to include as much information as possible.
