CNAR’s Spring Workshop 5: Item Writing in an Evolving World: How Societal and Technological Advances Have Disrupted How We Create Exam Content

Updated: Apr 4

Presented by:

Item writing represents a road well-travelled, typically involving a lengthy, labour-intensive process. However, technological changes have disrupted how we create exam content. Starting around 10 years ago, commercial AIG software entered the market. At the time, the use of AIG focused on mass-producing knowledge-based questions for high-volume programs. Regulators, however, often look for items to focus on quality and higher-order cognitive processes. In this session, industry best practices for using AIG software to assist in developing both kinds of items will be outlined. With guidance from the presenters, attendees will have the chance to create AIG templates, adjust parameters, and see the final outcomes. Attendees will learn how to effectively leverage GenAI to create high-quality assessment content in a secure manner. Participants will be able to view GenAI in action and will have the opportunity to determine its strengths and limitations for themselves.
