05-001: Adaptex Assessment Systems
Wise, Yan, Kotera, DeMars

The Adaptex Assessment System provides a computer-based testing system to be used in student outcomes assessment programs. The development of Adaptex was intended to help remove an obstacle to the adoption of computers-based tests (CBTs) in higher education. Adeptex is a powerful, yet user-friendly testing software package that would allow test developers to easily create multiple-choice items banks and then administer CBTs containing desired testing features.

The Adaptex Assessment System consists of four basic components:

  • Item Banking Module
  • Test Specification Module
  • Test Administration Module (both server-based and web-based)
  • Test Results Module

 Collectively, these components allow test developers to create and modify item banks, design multiple choice tests with a variety of features, and administer those tests to examinees on stand-alone computers, in server-based labs, or as web based tests. In addition, test developers will be able to access results for the examinees taking the tests.
