Abstract
In this paper we present a web based tool for authoring adaptive assessments based on IMS QTI, IMS LIP and IEEE PAPI learning standards. The tool allows authors of assessments to customize the applied adaptation strategies to meet their own teaching experiences and goals. During the assessment procedure the system accumulates knowledge about learners and adapts the exposure of items based on this knowledge and on the adaptable rule model. Design decisions and the employed user, domain and rule models are analyzed and discussed. Results from a usability evaluation are discussed at the end of the paper.
