[quote=Anonymous]^ There's also no reason why test item banks couldn't be handled in the same way - with peer-vetted volunteer SMEs contributing and validating test items in a secure online environment.  An algorithm could ensure that each contributed item is vetted and validated by a minimum number of SMEs with relevant and appropriate qualifications, and no one SME would have access to all of the questions to minimize the risk of a major breach.  Though, the larger the item bank (through a sufficiently large volunteer SME group contributing items) the smaller the impact of breach becomes, as leaked questions can then be quickly retired and replaced.  Testing companies usually use statistical analysis and algorithms to analyze responses to help find problematic questions, where there appear to be more than one right answer, where there doesn't appear to be any right answer, et cetera - they can also determine if cheating or other issues exist (test questions are too easy) based on the data - that can also be used for vetting and validation.  All of that could be put into an online platform.[/quote]
