1EdTech Consortium is revolutionizing assessment by providing the technical specifications that enable high quality interoperable digital assessment, both summative and formative. These specifications, QTI® (Question & Test Interoperability®) and APIP® (Accessible Portable Item Protocol®) have been helping to lead the assessment industry forward for many years.

The goal of the 1EdTech work is not to increase the number of high-stakes assessments, but rather to improve assessment quality and integrate actionable assessment into the daily lives of faculty and students to help them achieve better learning.

Leading states, state consortia, and suppliers around the world are now using 1EdTech standards on a massive scale, realizing significant cost savings, supporting major advances in assessment functionality and improving the response time to receiving results compared to paper-based assessments.  

State and institutional leaders have been discovering the power of interoperable digital assessment as being more effective and efficient. This has lead to broad adoption of 1EdTech standards.  The collaboration of end-users within 1EdTech has focused efforts on their requirements to better support high-quality assessment, teaching, and learning. This end-user collaboration has also led to breakthrough support for accessibility in digital assessment, or APIP.
