==CAT question==
I'm proposing Computer Adaptive Tests for final exams in my University, but I find some coarse reaction. They argument that this kind of tests punishes the most intelligent people and unmotivate them. Has anyone had an experience at implementing CATs for academic courses? -- Mario Montoya ([[User:200.23.145.23]])

===Summary of 1 Dec 2006 edits===
Basically, I took all of the references added by [[User:Iulus Ascanius|Iulus Ascanius]] and put them in a Wikipedia reference style so readers can link right to the citation. It's a bit messy in code, but it looks nice in the end. I did some minor edits too and added some {{[[Template:unreferenced|unreferenced]]}} templates for sections and paragraphs still needing references, but basically that's all I did in the multiple edits I did today. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Computer-adaptive_test&diff=91462406&oldid=91225066 here] for the full edit history. &mdash; [[User:Chris53516|Chris53516]] <sup>([[User talk:Chris53516|Talk]])</sup> 21:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 
== Moved page ==
 
Do NOT move this page without discussing it first. That is inappropriate. &mdash; [[User:Chris53516|Chris53516]] <sup>([[User talk:Chris53516|Talk]])</sup> 02:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 
:Sorry about the move - didn't know the rules. I just believe it is more appropriate under the name "Computerized adaptive testing," as this is what is more often called. A quick scan of the references supports this. "Computer-adaptive" is not incorrect, just not as common. Anyone else have thoughts on that (though it doesn't appear that anyone else is contributing material at this point)?
 
:I've tried to add more technical information for readers who are interested in the inner workings. Some figures would be helpful, but I'll have to figure out how to do that first.

::I '''oppose''' moving this article at all. Computer-adaptive testing is the accepted terminology that appears in research, especially item-response theory research. Any other terminology came from this terminology. &mdash; [[User:Chris53516|Chris53516]] <sup>([[User talk:Chris53516|Talk]])</sup> 18:21, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 
:::It is hardly "accepted" as the term in research. A complete list of CAT research ([http://www.psych.umn.edu/psylabs/catcentral/]) has the term "computer-adaptive" used in titles only 43 times - "computerized adaptive" is used approximately 540 times! And it's impossible to argue with a 'sample' of that size. Computerized adaptive testing became the accepted terminology when Reckase's use of "tailored testing" died out.
:::Likewise, there is no hyphen in "item-response theory." It is [[item response theory]].

==Moving?==
I never came back after the above discussion; I still think that the article should be moved to "Computerized adaptive testing." The website mentioned gives evidence of how much more common that term is. Anyone have an argument to the contrary?

:{{anote}} Since no one's objected in almost 2 months, I've gone ahead and moved it.--[[User:Aervanath|Aervanath]] ([[User talk:Aervanath|talk]]) 16:45, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

==Computer or computerized?==
Should we call it computer adaptive testing or computerized adaptive testing?[[Special:Contributions/138.75.40.159|138.75.40.159]] ([[User talk:138.75.40.159|talk]]) 18:20, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
