As an instructor, you are balancing a multitude of tasks to keep your classroom running smoothly throughout the school year. One way to ease your workload is to use an automated assessment program. Take the stress out of creating, assigning, and grading assessments with new assessment technologies.
- Enjoy Straight As: Assign, Align, and Auto-Grade
Assign
Using the latest assessment technologies means that no more downloads, uploads, or imports of assessments are needed. With one quick click, you can now tap into a wealth of pre-built assessments and enjoy the ease of having hundreds of assessment questions at your fingertips.
Assign your homework and quizzes online—you'll reduce your time in line at the copier and save yourself some paper cuts! Choose from matching, multiple choice, short answer, and fill-in-the blank formats. Use the questions as is, edit the questions, or create your own questions from scratch. Instructors have full control of when the assessments are assigned, how they are assigned, and when they are due. You can also create multiple versions of a test or exam and shuffle questions within the same assessment.
Align
Use a platform that aligns your questions to learning outcomes to ensure students have the knowledge and skills needed before heading into their career. Review the reporting to make adjustments as needed, such as providing certain students with extra attention to improve comprehension of the learning outcomes or reviewing a lesson one more time.
Auto-Grade
Educators appreciate the convenience of seeing a grade automatically calculate for them. True auto-grading takes it a step further when you don't need to manually enter those grades into your LMS or virtual gradebook. When you integrate your assessments directly with your LMS, such as Blackboard, Canvas, D2L, Moodle, or Schoology, scores flow directly into your gradebook, saving you valuable time. Instantly access the results by standards or specific lessons to keep track of student mastery. You will save yourself time, and your students will have quick access to their grades as well.
- Aim High—to the Cloud!
Use a cloud-based assessment platform that allows you to access updated or revised questions, so that you can always stay current with the latest course material. - Make the Assessment Process Comfortable for Your Students
Have your students take their assessments directly on the LMS platform that they use on a regular basis and are familiar with. If students need a printed test, you can still print assessments for students to take by hand during class or offer them electronically as PDFs.
