QTI 3.0 assessment platform

Write, keep and deliver assessments on an open standard

The Assessment Item Bank is where schools, districts and assessment teams write questions, build tests and deliver them to their learners. Everything is stored as QTI 3.0, so your content is never locked in.

Built for educators

One place for your whole assessment process, from the first draft of a question to a learner's result.

Write questions in the browser

A visual editor for every kind of question, with the answer and its scoring set as you go. Add feedback, maths, images, audio and reading passages shared by several questions.

How an item is made

Build tests your way

Group questions into sections, draw a different selection for each learner, shuffle, set time limits, branch on earlier answers, and work out totals and grades.

How a test is built

Deliver online

Learners sit tests in a browser, one question at a time. Answers are saved as they go, a test interrupted part way can be picked up again, and time limits and fullscreen are enforced.

What a learner sees

Open standards, no lock-in

Import QTI 2.1, 2.2 and 3.0 packages from other systems. Export QTI 3.0.1 packages, each checked by a strict validator before you download it.

Importing a package

Your team, your bank

Each organisation has a bank of its own, with its own members and roles. Tag content with curriculum standards, and lock a test once it is in use so its questions cannot change.

Managing a bank

See how questions perform

Every question and test shows how it has been answered: average scores for each question, and how often it was attempted, across every learner who sat it.

Usage figures

Built-in MCP server

Write with your AI assistant

The bank has a Model Context Protocol server built in, so Claude and other AI assistants can write and revise your content directly. Ask for ten questions on a topic, a test drawn from your bank, or a fix across a set of items, and review the result in the editor.

  • Nothing to install. Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code or any MCP client to your bank's address.
  • It works as you. The assistant signs in with your account and reaches only your tenants, with your role's permissions.
  • Checked like your own work. Every save is validated against QTI 3.0.1, and each problem names the element it is about, so the assistant can correct it.
  • The whole toolset. About sixty tools: items, stimuli, sections and tests, scoring, feedback, metadata and media.
