Welcome to the "Summer" (Rainy Season) Accelerated Version of EDME 6006. 

There are some differences in the content and organization of this course, but feel free to use the content of the course as published on the other pages.  This includes the PowerPoints and assignment guidelines.

Most of the course is concentrated in July 20-22 and 27-29, but you will have extended tutorial support afterward from Tobagonian Deon Rodriguez . Deon will provide support on Assignment 2.

You also have an extended session with Rhoda Mohammed (DERE) on how to use LERTAP, a CTT item analysis programme. Hopefully you will be analyzing the items in the National Tests (Tobago Sample). Remember to first purchase LERTAP here.

The LERTAP programme is currently used by DERE. Rhoda will also explore IRT analysis using XCalibre.

I hope you thoroughly enjoy your experience.
