Workshops on IRT, CAT and testing in the on-line environment

This three-day workshop aims to raise interest and share knowledge on Item Response Theory, Computerized Adaptive Testing and the open source online adaptive testing platform - Concerto. We will teach you the necessary methods and show you how to develop an online adaptive test.

The programme of the course:

• Day 1: "Introduction to IRT in personality and ability testing"
• Day 2: "Practical IRT: Analysing data and scoring tests in the R Statistical Environment"

• Day3: "Adaptive Testing: Introduction to Concerto - open-source online adaptive testing platform."

WEBSTER UNIVERSITY Berchtoldgasse 1, 1220 Vienna, Austria For more information and to register contact Krista Rothschild	21st to 23rd June 2012 3 day course 09.00 to 17.00 hours	€350 (earlybird rate €325 until 1st March 2012) Click here to register

We put a lot of emphasis on practical skills. Thus, the necessary theoretical introduction to IRT and CAT is illustrated with practical examples and exercises with real data. The tempo is adjusted to the level of participants. At the end of the workshop, participants will individually go through the entire process of analysing item level data using IRT, building an item bank, and publishing the adaptive test online.

The course is led by our excellent staff, including the Concerto authors. Teaching will be in small groups so that delegates can make the most of the teaching.

Some of our previous workshops have been held among others at:

• MIMOS in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (January 2012)
  

• University of Warsaw in Warsaw, Poland (February 2012) 

We are happy to deliver this course on your premises. The cost of the course is negotiable and we are happy to provide it on a non-profit basis, although a charitable donation towards the development of Concerto would be very much appreciated. Contact The Psychometrics Centre for more information.
