System and method for rendering an assessment item
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for rendering an educational assessment item, the method comprising:
- receiving an extensible markup language (XML) document, wherein the XML document includes data that relates to at least one of an appearance and content of an educational assessment item, and wherein the XML document includes a name or address of an archive file comprising a plurality of files;
retrieving the archive file with a processing system, the archive file including computer-executable instructions in a JavaScript programming language for generating a figural response item for display on a display device, wherein the figural response item includes one or more graphical features which a user modifies in order to respond to the educational assessment item to generate one or more modified graphical features responsive to the educational assessment item;
executing, using the processing system, the computer-executable instructions based on the data of the XML document to generate the interactive graphical representation for display to the user;
receiving, at the processing system, data generated based on user manipulation of the one or more features of the interactive graphical representation; and
processing the data generated from the user manipulation to generate the modified graphical representation responsive to the educational assessment item.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for rendering an assessment item. A document encoded in a markup language is received. The document includes data that relates to at least one of an appearance and content of an assessment item, and the document includes a reference to a content file. The content file is retrieved, where the content file includes computer-executable instructions for generating an interactive graphical representation for display on a display device. The interactive graphical representation includes one or more features with which a user interacts to respond to the assessment item. The computer-executable instructions are executed based on the data of the document to generate the interactive graphical representation. Data generated based on user manipulation of the one or more features is received. The data generated from the user manipulation is processed to generate a modified graphical representation responsive to the assessment item.
