Developing Instructor-Ready Assessments
Comprehensive test bank development and instructor assessment resources designed to support effective learning in higher education.
Publishers need dependable assessment materials that support adoption. Our team develops LMS-ready test banks aligned with course content and instructor requirements.
Let's TalkAssessment Development for Higher Education Publishers
Assessment packages such as test banks and instructor materials influence textbook adoption and instructor satisfaction in higher education. Publishers face multiple pressures: confirming psychometric integrity, aligning with standards and learning outcomes, and preserving consistency across disciplines and editions. Fragmented workflows involving authors, editors and assessment teams can misalign questions from content. Adopting a single managed service helps optimise item development, strengthen pedagogical rigour and give titles a competitive edge. Integrating LMS-ready formats and adaptive assessment options means your resources stay current, usable and aligned without adding project overhead.
Key Challenges
Content-Assessment Alignment: Ensuring questions map directly to textbook chapters, learning aims and instructor expectations across editions.
Psychometric Quality: Delivering items with dependable validity, difficulty balance, clear distractors and accurate measurement of student learning.
Instructor Usability: Providing instructors resources that save prep time, allow customization and adapt to diverse teaching styles.
Platform Compatibility: Supplying question banks in formats ready for Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle and major test-bank networks.
Scalability & Timeliness: Managing multiple titles and editions simultaneously while controlling cost, schedule risk and production consistency.
Test Bank & Assessment Services for Higher-Ed Publishers
Publisher Test Bank Development
Our team develops complete test banks aligned with your manuscript, learning objectives and instructor needs. Subject-matter experts craft multiple-choice, true/false, short-answer, essay and problem-solving items covering Bloom’s taxonomy levels. Each includes answer rationales, difficulty ratings and links to sections for efficient instructor use.
Item Writing and Psychometric Review
A dedicated assessment group writes items following best-practice guidelines. Clear stems, plausible distractors and defensible answers meet bias-review standards. Then each item undergoes psychometric analysis for validity, discrimination and alignment with learning goals.
Instructor Resource Package Development
Beyond question banks, our team builds instructor manuals with teaching strategies, discussion prompts, sample syllabi, activity suggestions and solution sets. The full ecosystem ensures seamless integration across teaching and assessment frameworks.
Digital Assessment Integration
Our delivery team formats question banks for major LMS platforms and test-bank networks, including Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle and Respondus. Import-ready files streamline instructor deployment and maximise resource usability.
Correlation and Learning Objective Mapping
For accredited programmes (e.g., ABET, AACSB, nursing and teacher education), our specialists map items to standards, competencies and learning outcomes. We provide detailed matrices documenting how each question supports required objectives.
Edition Updates and Maintenance
We review existing items for accuracy, update or replace outdated content, and add new questions aligned with revised chapters. Our structured process maintains consistency across editions while helping you manage development time and cost.
Scalable Production
Our proven workflows, SME networks and QA processes support simultaneous development across multiple titles. Whether managing a single book or an extensive catalogue, we deliver efficiency without compromising consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do you ensure test bank items align precisely with textbook content and learning objectives?
Our team uses your final manuscript, learning-objective list and pedagogical framework. Writers assign each question to specific chapters and outcomes, and reviewers verify content accuracy via correlation matrices.
Q2: Can you develop test banks that support different teaching approaches like traditional exams, online quizzes, and adaptive assessments?
Yes. We design flexible question collections suitable for comprehensive exams, chapter quizzes, practice sets, homework and adaptive platforms.
Q3: How do you handle test banks for highly specialized or emerging disciplines where item writers may be limited?
We recruit assessment experts who teach or research in niche disciplines. For interdisciplinary content we engage multiple specialists to ensure coverage.
Q4: How do you maintain quality and eliminate bias in test bank items?
Each question passes multi-stage review: SME verification, psychometric testing, inclusive-language check and technical edit. Items meet guidelines for clarity, plausible distractors and fairness.
Q5: Can you update existing test banks when textbooks undergo revision for new editions?
Certainly. We audit existing items, update those impacted by new content, add new items for expanded chapters and preserve variety. This approach reduces cost and ensures currency.
Q6: What instructor support materials do you include beyond just test bank questions?
We offer answer rationales with common-misconception explanations, difficulty ratings, Bloom’s taxonomy codes, correlation matrices, usage suggestions, instructor manuals and sample syllabi.
