Item Templates
Knowledge and competence tests or surveys consist of items (exercises, questions) that may have different characteristics.These characteristics are defined by Item Templates. They describe the way an item is presented.
On the basis of a certain template an item is filled with text and/or multimedia elements, the Item Content. This process is called item authoring.
The main constituents of a particular item are its underlying Item Template and its specific Item Content.

Famous quotes containing the word item:
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
