Our educational assessment platform empowers you to build and manage world-class exams with modern psychometrics like item response theory, adaptive testing, and AI essay scoring.
Many educational assessment platforms provide basic functionality for exams, nothing more than a quiz engine. Professional-grade educational assessment software 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 IRT and CAT.
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 exam delivery is arguably the most important part of online assessment software. 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:
High-quality educational assessment platforms can be used for many types of assessment. Our platforms work equally well with formative assessment and summative assessment. Whether you are doing benchmark online exams for students, or high-stakes exams like university admissions or certificate/achievement exams, we have the solution.
Formative assessment refers to assessment as part of the learning process, such as benchmark exams given halfway through a school year to see where a student stands so that instruction can be better directed; the test is not used to make any real decisions such as pass/fail. Summative assessment on the other hand is done at the end of learning, and usually has some sort of decision like pass/fail. However, in many cases, the decision is at an aggregate level and not about the individual student, like state-based exams at the end of 8th grade to see if students are mastering the curriculum, or if the curriculum (or instructional practices) need to be changed.
You control access for your users, and all aspects of how the test is delivered – lockdown browser, proctoring, entry into the exam, time limits, navigation controls, and tons more.
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.
