Hi David

I am currently doing an EdD ICT in education usign a quantitative research design.  There is some info at http://digital-kids.wikispaces.com

or send me an e-mail if you have specific questions.  I'm using IRT.  It is all fairly new to me, I am currently doing the data collection so yet to relly get my head round the numbers.

Cheers

Anne-Marie
