Updates
During testing, Item Bank items linked to passages appear in a left-right split screen by default, with the passage(s) appearing on the left side of the screen, and the linked questions appearing on the right side of the screen. To improve assessment formatting for items linked to passages when students are using devices with a small screen, such as a tablet, the formatting for these items will switch to a top-bottom screen split, where the passage appears on top, and the linked questions appear underneath. This formatting changes dynamically depending on the size of the assessment window.

Further item metadata will now be included in the Teacher Booklet for Item Bank Assessments, including Depth of Knowledge, Revised Bloom's Taxonomy, Difficulty Level, and Question Group for each item, if available.

Item Bank items now offer the option to select No Standard, so that items do not require a standard to be linked to be published.
