Freelance Item Development Professional Assessment Services
Role Overview
Prometric is developing an end-of-course assessment for Artificial Intelligence (AI) courses intended for a non‑technical audience to provide a clear, practical understanding of what AI is, what it can and cannot do, and how AI can be used in everyday life. Individuals who pass the assessment will earn a micro credential.
Freelance Item Development Professionals will work with the Assessment Development team to develop assessment content for a beginner-level, non-technical Artificial Intelligence (AI) assessment. Item Development Professionals play a critical role in reviewing course materials, identifying key learning outcomes, and creating high-quality assessment items that accurately measure learner knowledge and skills.
This role focuses on assessment development rather than AI expertise. Item Development Professionals will work from provided course content, learning objectives, and item-writing guidelines to develop assessment items aligned to the credential framework. Advanced knowledge of AI is not required; success in this role is based on the ability to analyze educational content, apply sound assessment principles, and write clear, valid, and reliable items.
Item Development Professionals work on a piece-rate basis for course content review and item development and an hourly-rate for additional tasks.
Note: Subject matter expertise in artificial intelligence is not required for this role.
