Abstract
The IMS Consortium in its QTI (Question & Test Interoperability) specification [1] presents a collection of question types that are useful to be used in an e-learning context. Standardization on the items and test types eases reusing them throughout LMSs, hence its importance. The IMS QTI question catalogue includes some items that are specializations of others. Others just differ in the rendering model. The goal of this paper is to categorize and put all those items in context, thus producing a new taxonomy. We do this by giving a type to each of the items. So, this work could be also understood a defining a type system for items. As a by-product, we include some new kinds of items and re-categorize others.
