Convert QTI 2.1 Assessment Items to and from Learnosity Item and Question JSON.

Learnosity QTI

The learnosity-qti package converts QTI 2.1 Assessment Items to Learnosity Item and Question JSON.

This should run on PHP 5.5+

Installation via Composer

Using Composer is the recommended way to install Learnosity QTI for PHP. In order to use the package with Composer, you must add "learnosity/learnosity-qti" as a dependency in your project's composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "learnosity/learnosity-qti": "1.*"
    }
}

Then, install your dependencies

composer install

Or just do:

composer global require "learnosity/learnosity-qti"

Make sure to add $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin directory to your $PATH so the mo executable can be located by your system. If not, simple replace all mo commands below with ./bin/mo (from the root of the project).

Usage

The mo command line runner

Use the command line tool, mo to run conversion jobs. To see all jobs, run mo list:

$ mo list

Usage:
  mo [command] [options] [--help]

Flags:
  --help                    Print the applications help

Commands:
  convert:to:learnosity     Converts QTI v2.1 to Learnosity JSON
  convert:to:qti            Converts Learnosity JSON to QTI v2.1

  list                      Lists all commands available

Converting QTI to Learnosity JSON

To convert QTI 2.1 to Learnosity JSON, run the following:

mo convert:to:learnosity

By default this will look for content packages inside the ./data/input directory, and output raw results to ./data/output/raw and final item JSON to ./data/output/final. A manifest file will be written to ./data/output/log.

If you want to use different input and/or output paths you can use options:

mo convert:to:learnosity --input /my/path/to/qti --output /my/path/to/output/folder --organisation_id [integer]

Remember you can ask for help:

$ mo convert:to:learnosity --help

Usage:
  convert:to:learnosity [options]

Options:
  -i, --input=INPUT     The input path to your QTI content [default: "./data/input"]
  -o, --output=OUTPUT   An output path where the Learnosity JSON will be saved [default: "./data/output"]
      --organisation_id=ORGANISATION_ID  The identifier of the item bank you want to import content into [default: ""]
  -h, --help            Display this help message
  -q, --quiet           Do not output any message
  -V, --version         Display this application version
      --ansi            Force ANSI output
      --no-ansi         Disable ANSI output
  -n, --no-interaction  Do not ask any interactive question
  -v|vv|vvv, --verbose  Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

  Converts QTI v2.1 to Learnosity JSON, expects to run on folder(s) with a imsmanifest.xml file

Next steps

Once you have Learnosity JSON (the final folder), you can use the Data API to import into your Learnosity hosted item bank.

Example of the output format is:

{
    "qtiitems": {
        "[item-reference]": {
            "item": {},
            "questions": [],
            "features": [],
            "manifest": [],
            "rubric": null,
            "assumptions": []
        }
    }
}

Loop over all item objects inside "qtiitems". Inside each item object, import the questions (setQuestions) and features (setFeatures) first, then the item (setItems).

• Import questions
• Import features
• Import items

Converting Learnosity JSON to QTI

To convert Learnosity JSON to QTI 2.1, run the following:

mo convert:to:qti

By default this will look for content packages inside the ./data/input directory, and output results (and log files) to ./data/output. If you want to use different input and/or output paths you can use options:

mo convert:to:qti -i /my/path/to/json -o /my/path/to/output/folder

Remember you can ask for help:

$ mo convert:to:qti --help

Usage:
  convert:to:qti [options]

Options:
  -i, --input=INPUT     The input path to your Learnosity content [default: "./data/input"]
  -o, --output=OUTPUT   An output path where the QTI will be saved [default: "./data/output"]
  -h, --help            Display this help message
  -q, --quiet           Do not output any message
  -V, --version         Display this application version
      --ansi            Force ANSI output
      --no-ansi         Disable ANSI output
  -n, --no-interaction  Do not ask any interactive question
  -v|vv|vvv, --verbose  Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

  Converts Learnosity JSON to QTI v2.1

TODO

• Support Learnosity item JSON (only supports question JSON today)
• Support pulling down assets to local passage (linked to Learnosity CDN today)
• Support more QTI-compatible interactions
• Support imsmanifest.xml and content package generation (today individual <assessmentItem> files are created only)
