Challenges of Web-Based Assessment
Richard M. Luecht
Annual Meeting of the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) 2001 (April 2001)
This paper discusses six challenges relevant to Web-based testing. Some of these challenges are not specific to Web-based testing, but generalize to all computer-based testing. The challenges are: (1) security and using test centers for Web-based...

Exposure Control Using Adaptive Multi-Stage Item Bundles
Richard M. Luecht
Annual Meeting of the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) 2003 (January 2004)
This paper presents a multistage adaptive testing test development paradigm that promises to handle content balancing and other test development needs, psychometric reliability concerns, and item exposure. The bundled multistage adaptive testing ...

Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing in a Certification or Licensure Context
Richard M. Luecht
Applied Psychological Measurement Vol. 20, No. 4 (1996) pp. 389–404
The example of a medical licensure test is used to demonstrate situations in which complex, integrated content must be balanced at the total test level for validity reasons, but items assigned to reportable subscore categories may be used under a...

Capturing, Codifying and Scoring Complex Data for Innovative, Computer-Based Items
Richard M. Luecht
Annual Meeting of the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) 2001 (April 2001)
The Microsoft Certification Program (MCP) includes many new computer-based item types, based on complex cases involving the Windows 2000 (registered) operating system. This Innovative Item Technology (IIT) has presented challenges beyond traditional ...

Implementing the Computer-Adaptive Sequential Testing (CAST) Framework To Mass Produce High Quality Computer-Adaptive and Mastery Tests
Richard M. Luecht
Annual Meeting of the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) 2000 (April 2000)
Computerized testing has created new challenges for the production and administration of test forms. This paper describes a multi-stage, testlet-based framework for test design, assembly, and administration called computer-adaptive sequential...

Test Pac: A Program for Comprehensive Item and Reliability Analysis
Richard M. Luecht
Educational and Psychological Measurement Vol. 47, No. 3 (1987) pp. 623–26
Test Pac, a test scoring and analysis computer program for moderate-sized sample designs using dichotomous response items, performs comprehensive item analyses and multiple reliability estimates. It also performs single-facet generalizability...

A Reaction to "Moderating Possibly Irrelevant Multiple Mean Score Differences on a Test of Mathematical Reasoning."
Richard M. Luecht
Journal of Educational Measurement Vol. 35, No. 3 (1998) pp. 223–27
Comments on the application of a proposed automated test assembly (ATA) to the problem of reducing potential performance differential among population subgroups and points out some pitfalls. Presents a rejoinder by M. Stocking and others. (SLD)

Some Useful Cost-Benefit Criteria for Evaluating Computer-Based Test Delivery Models and Systems
Richard M. Luecht
Journal of Applied Testing Technology Vol. 7, No. 2 (April 2005) pp. 1–31
Computer-based testing (CBT) is typically implemented using one of three general test delivery models: (1) multiple fixed testing (MFT); (2) computer-adaptive testing (CAT); or (3) multistage testing (MSTs). This article reviews some of the real...

Item Selection Using an Average Growth Approximation of Target Information Functions
Richard M. Luecht; Thomas M. Hirsch
Applied Psychological Measurement Vol. 16, No. 1 (1992) pp. 41–51
Derivations of several item selection algorithms for use in fitting test items to target information functions (IFs) are described. These algorithms, which use an average growth approximation of target IFs, were tested by generating six test forms...

Unidimensional Calibrations and Interpretations of Composite Traits for Multidimensional Tests
Richard M. Luecht; Timothy R. Miller
Applied Psychological Measurement Vol. 16, No. 3 (1992) pp. 279–93
A two-stage process that considers the multidimensionality of tests under the framework of unidimensional item response theory is described and evaluated. Findings from a simulation indicate that gains in estimation robustness and score...

Some Practical Examples of Computer-Adaptive Sequential Testing
Richard M. Luecht; Ronald J. Nungester
Journal of Educational Measurement Vol. 35, No. 3 (1998) pp. 229–49
Describes an integrated approach to test development and administration called computer-adaptive sequential testing (CAST). CAST incorporates adaptive testing methods with automated test assembly. Describes the CAST framework and demonstrates...

Correlated Effects in Generalizability Studies
Philip L. Smith; Richard M. Luecht
Applied Psychological Measurement Vol. 16, No. 3 (1992) pp. 229–35
The implications of serially correlated effects on the results of generalizability analyses are discussed. Simulated data are provided that demonstrate the biases that serially correlated effects introduce into the results. Serial correlation in...
