T&Q 2.1 Highlights: 

T&Q 2.1 Highlights “Section-Aware” grading - assessments filtered by section (e.g. discussion, lab) Workflow improvements (based on 2.0.1 usability testing) Code refactored to expose tool API looser coupling to Sakai (or other CMS) clean stand-alone build

T&Q post-2.1 Future: 

T&Q post-2.1 Future Audio-recording question type (Stanford) Others Export assessment results Release assessments to specific classes and sections Department/school-level templates Question Pool sharing by group, import/export

NEW! Assessment Tools DG: 

NEW! Assessment Tools DG First BOF Time: Thursday 7:30-8:30am Location: Salon J Possible Topics current usage and best use recommendations for assessment tools within Sakai assessment pedagogy (both formative and summative) user interaction and tool design assessment tool interoperability with other tools (e.g. Tests & Quizzes with Gradebook) and standards compliance (e.g. IMS-QTI) process for feature requests and prioritization future plans for assessment tools
