Verified steps
Author item content as assessmentItem XML files using QTI 3.0's HTML5-based markup rather than the older QTI-specific XHTML subset used in 2.x.
Bundle assessmentItem files, any assessmentTest XML, and associated media assets into a zip package.
Generate an imsmanifest.xml (per IMS Content Packaging v1.2) listing all resources, following the QTI Package/Content Package format.
If items use Technology-Enhanced Items, package them as Portable Custom Interactions (PCI), natively supported in QTI 3.0.
Import the zip into the target platform and verify it correctly renders the HTML5-based markup and any embedded MathML 3.
Known gotchas
QTI 3.0 became a 1EdTech Final Release in May 2022 (with a minor 3.0.1 point release in 2024) — target 3.0/3.0.1, not 2.x, since 2.1/2.2 certification was phased out in 2023-2024.
QTI 3.0's markup is not a drop-in replacement for 2.x XHTML — items authored for 2.x typically need transformation, not just a manifest version bump.
Accessibility metadata that used to live in a separate APIP spec is now merged directly into QTI 3.0 — check for it in the item markup rather than a separate file.
