Automatically Graded Randomized Chemistry Problems
We've recently been developing a number of automatically graded randomized problems. They include random variables for each problem, and support feedback for common student errors (for example, an automatic prompt when answers are off by orders of magnitude, suggesting that students check to see if they've converted mL to L for calculations).

PALS: Performance Assessment Links in Science
PALS is an on-line, standards-based, continually updated resource bank of science performance assessment tasks indexed via the National Science Education Standards (NSES) and various other standards frameworks. Take the guided tour to become familiar with PALS.
The tasks, collected from numerous sources, include student directions and response forms, administration procedures, scoring rubrics, examples of student work, and technical quality data calculated from field testing. On-line rater training packets have also been created for some tasks.
