Abstract:

In the Spring 2015 Semester, the three Nursing Professors teaching the graduating class coordinated their efforts to include Computer Adaptive Testing into the curriculum. This presentation analyzes how computer testing assesses each student response and places the student on an individual learning pathway until the maximal level is achieved. Furthermore, this presentation discusses how the standardized test results was tracked and assessed through the semester.
