English term or phrase: facility index
The unit of measurement for the skill and knowledge level is the Facility Index (FI) and the Discrimination Index (DI) commonly used by educators. As such, this trial will seek to demonstrate that online assessments can enhance independent self-learning for a large group of learners across a wide spectrum of ability levels.

Der Begriff "Facility Index" ist mir nicht geläufig und auch bei Google bin ich nicht wirklich fündig geworden.

Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen?

Schwierigkeitsindex
Explanation:
FACILITY INDEX
The proportion of correct responses to an item, expressed on a scale of 0 to 1. It is also sometimes expressed as a percentage. Also referred to as facility value or p-value.


...The difficulty of an item = its FACILITY INDEX: % who give the right answer. The usual aim of the test setter is to achieve even to middling facility indices ranging from about 40-60%.


Schwierigkeitsindex: Der Schwierigkeitsindex gibt an, wie groß der Anteil der Versuchspersonen ist, die ein Item 'richtig' (im Sinne des zu messenden Merkmals) beantwortet haben. Bei 'schwierigen' Items ist der Schwierigkeitsindex niedrig, bei 'leichten' Items ist er hoch. (Achtung, nicht verwirren lassen: bei Mummendey wird die Schwierigkeit genau anders herum definiert.)
