Authoring

Build the items others can't — without writing code

TestQuill's visual authoring environment lets your test developers create the full range of QTI item types and PCI-based Technology Enhanced Items, then combine them into machine-scored, multi-section performance tasks that challenge students to apply what they have learned.

Authoring, end to end

Everything your developers need to go from a blank canvas to a fully scored, accessible, standards-compliant task.

Limitless Item Types

Every standard QTI interaction plus advanced PCI Technology Enhanced Items — used standalone or composed into clusters.

Integrated Performance Tasks

Scoring on one section can depend on what the student did in other sections, opening many paths to performing the task.

Machine-Scored Logic

Everything can be machine-scored using advanced AI techniques or routed to human scorers. Machine-scoring logic extends across item sections allowing evaluation of one part to depend on responses in others.

Accessibility Built In

Every widget ships WCAG AAA–ready: keyboard operable, screen-reader described, and designed with UDL principles.

Live Preview

See exactly what students see, on any device, and deploy functional drafts to a shared review site within days.

QTI 3.0 + PCI Import/Export

Imports and exports QTI 3.0, with the ability to convert semi-compliant QTI to fully compliant QTI 3.0 with the use of custom templates.
