PIE Converter
The PIE Converter project involved developing a sophisticated data transformation system that converts QTI (Question and Test Interoperability) data to PIE (Performance Improvement Engine) JSON format. PIE JSON is a standardized format for representing educational assessments and learning content that enables better rendering, processing, and analysis of assessment data. The system provides seamless conversion between these formats while maintaining data integrity and assessment functionality.
The Challenge
The project required converting legacy QTI assessment data to the modern PIE JSON format while ensuring data accuracy and maintaining assessment functionality. The challenge included handling complex assessment structures, preserving question types and scoring logic, and creating a robust conversion engine that could process large volumes of educational content efficiently.
- QTI to PIE JSON data conversion
- Assessment rendering and display
- Result processing and analysis
- Data validation and error handling
- Support for multiple question types
- Educational content transformation
The Solution & Results
Developed a comprehensive data conversion system using Scala for robust data processing and transformation logic. Created a conversion engine that maps QTI elements to PIE JSON format, handling various question types, scoring mechanisms, and assessment metadata. Implemented validation and error handling to ensure data integrity during conversion. Built a user interface for rendering assessments and displaying results in the PIE format.
Successfully delivered a reliable PIE Converter that efficiently transforms QTI data to PIE JSON format, enabling better assessment rendering and result processing. The system now supports seamless conversion of educational content, providing enhanced compatibility with modern assessment platforms and improved data analysis capabilities.
