Authoring

Authoring pages detail tasks related to creating banks, forms, and test items in ADAM. Users with specific roles and associated permissions can access these areas within ADAM.

ADAM has two versions of Authoring that have some functionality differences:

• AD Authoring: Used for customers creating their own items or using third party item banks for local creation of test forms. All forms delivered must be administered in ADAM Player. See also:
  • Author Test Items
  • Special Features Available Across Item Types
  • Bank Overview
  • Author a New Form
• Authoring: Also known as 'QTI Authoring', this legacy authoring tool supports hosting the forms needed to administer assessments in TestNav. Although local authoring is also supported, it has fewer item types available. Typically, your Pearson Delivery team will set up tests here.
