2. Information Resources for Training: A Survey of Non-Military Sources. Interim Report No. 1.

Author

Interuniversity Communications Council (EDUCOM), Princeton, NJ., Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ., Swanson, Len, and Sinnott, Loraine T.

Abstract

Resulting from a project to systematically locate existing information resources useful in the development of training courses or programs, this catalog describes 31 of the most relevant information respurces. These resources include abstracting services, computer files, directories, exchange projects, books, and information services. The catalog descriptions provide substantive data on the nature, purpose, and use of each information resource, and are intended to permit an assessment of their potential applicability to a given information need. Informal evaluations relative to the objectives of the project are included. The resources are indexed by applicability to a five-level classification of the instructional development process.

3. Optimal Design of Item Banks for Computerized Adaptive Tests.

Author

Stocking, Martha L. and Swanson, Len

Abstract

Applied optimal design methods to the item-bank design of adaptive testing for continuous testing situations using a version of the weighted-deviations model (M. Stocking and L. Swanson, 1993) in a simulation. Independent and overlapping item banks used items more efficiently than did a large item bank. (SLD)

4. A Method for Severely Constrained Item Selection in Adaptive Testing.

Author

Stocking, Martha L. and Swanson, Len

Abstract

A method is presented for incorporating a large number of constraints on adaptive item selection in the construction of computerized adaptive tests. The method, which emulates practices of expert test specialists, is illustrated for verbal and quantitative measures. Its foundation is application of a weighted deviations model and algorithm.

5. A Model and Heuristic for Solving Very Large Item Selection Problems.

Author

Swanson, Len and Stocking, Martha L.

Abstract

A model for solving very large item selection problems is presented. The model builds on binary programming applied to test construction. A heuristic for selecting items that satisfy the constraints in the model is also presented, and various problems are solved using the model and heuristic. (SLD)

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to systematically locate and describe existing information resources useful in the development of training courses or programs. The project resulted in the development of a catalog describing 31 of the most relevant information resources. These resources include abstracting services, computer files, directories, exchange projects, books, and information services. The catalog descriptions provide substantive data on the nature, purpose, and use of each information resource, and are intended to permit an assessment of their potential applicability to a given information need. Informal evaluations relative to the objectives of the project are included. The resources are categorized and indexed by applicability to a five-level classification of the instructional development process., Prepared in cooperation with EDUCOM, Princeton, NJ.
