Print and online friendly item types are traditional questions that students can answer on print and online assessments. They are designed to engage students by allowing them to pick from answer choices, state a numerical answer, or compose short and long constructed responses.
These print and online friendly item types are useful because:
They offer teachers the flexibility to use them across a variety of print and online assessments.
They can be paired with a resource, or reading passage, to demonstrate students’ comprehension and critical thinking.
They help teachers assess whether students have learned facts, can recall information across broad lessons, and can solve problems.
Aware offers the following print and online friendly item types:
Constructed Response
