Many LMS platforms or run-of-the-mill exam software provide basic functionality, really nothing more than a quiz engine. Professional-grade educational assessment should include item banking, item review workflow, support for Standard Setting studies, test publishing, automated psychometric reporting, and the rest of the educational assessment lifecycle. It should also support modern psychometrics like item response theory and adaptive testing. If your organization is not using modern technology like this, you are falling behind!
Manage teams to develop high-quality items, leveraging customizable workflow and versioning
Easily mark large volumes of essays or other open-response items, including multi-marker rules
Deliver paper or online tests in large volumes, with dozens of item types and a range of security options
Adaptive testing, multistage testing, item response theory – all the things that a world-class assessment needs
Item banking refers to the process of building and managing large pools of test items (questions) that can easily be reused and revised. When you have thousands or tens of thousands of questions, complex curricula to tag items, years of historical statistics, dozens of staff, or other complex situations, you need a system which is specifically designed to handle this.
A professional educational assessment platform should provide a module for assembling, publishing, and managing test forms. There’s a lot more that goes into this than just picking 20 multiple choice items to be on a quiz.
Online delivery is arguably the most important part of educational assessment. There is a MASSIVE range out in the market, though – from simple survey engines to powerful platforms with AI and dozens of item types.
Our educational assessment solutions can benefit any organization that needs high-quality assessment, whether it is advanced psychometrics, top-shelf security, or innovative item types. Here are some of the groups we have worked with:
If your educational assessments include essay questions, you need an efficient way to grade them. Our platform includes an integrated module that allows teachers to view the essays (anonymously or non-anonymously), leave marks on customized rubrics, and flag issue/exemplar essays. This will drastically reduce the time and effort needed to grade essays.
