Regenerative Reading Assessments

The project team will develop a prototype GenAI engine integrated with Capti Assess to regenerate and expand the ReadBasix item-pool, increases its selection of topics and will ensure that its items stay culturally relevant and secure. The resulting prototype will enable educators to quickly generate localized and curriculum assign assessments from their own curricula. At the end of Phase I, the researchers will conduct a pilot study with 4 middle school English language arts teachers, 2 psychometricians, and 40 students. They will evaluate the tool's usability of the feasibility; if students are engaged being assessed with new items; whether educators are able to create items, manage, and administer them; and whether educators understand the psychometric reports.
