Otus - Advanced Assessments Grading Scales

When creating questions within advanced assessments on the formative or summative scales, questions are either correct or incorrect. The assessments overall mastery ranking is based off of the mean score of all the questions mastery ranking.

When creating questions within advanced assessments on the points scale (utilizing variable scoring), the following points & settings should be used in order for the question to fall in the correct mastery band. Remember: points are not shown anywhere, just used for variable levels

The points scale would be used when creating a questions (needing variable scoring) that has answers :

1. with variable levels of correctness (best answer, okay answer, least okay answer)

• example: multiple choice A = Mastery, choice  C = Approaching, etc.

• This utilizes alternative answers in Otus, not multiple responses

2. multiple parts with single correct answers (drag and drop labels with 4 different labels)

• example: Cloze drag and drop

When creating a question with multiple parts (close, drag & drop, match, list,etc) the settings for scoring should be:

• Correct point value = 8 (MS) or 3 (Elem)

• Scoring type = Partial Match

• Rounding = None

• Minimum Score if attempted = 2 (MS)

When creating a question with variable scoring, the following points should be used for the levels. **Note* not all levels need to be used, but at least target/mastery should be used.
