Measurement and Assessment Tools

Assessment plays a critical role in the online learning process. Learning Environment includes an unparalleled suite of measurement and assessment tools to evaluate outcomes and perform formative and summative evaluations of the effectiveness of instructional programs.

Rubrics

Rubrics enable our clients' organizations to define transparent assessment criteria and create structured feedback. Rubrics are created manually or automatically to evaluate academic performance on activities. This is conducted through a variety of course tools including quizzes, dropbox assignments, and discussions.

Intelligent Agents

Built into Learning Environment are powerful intelligent agents that enable recognition of user achievements and allow our clients to identify at-risk users. Their users and other interested parties receive notifications that share milestones or recommend actions to ensure future success.

Competencies and Learning Outcomes

Learning Environment facilitates easy tracking of user progress by leveraging organizational structure to share competencies across multiple courses. Our clients assess organization, program, and course-wide competencies and learning objectives through quizzes, dropbox assignments, discussions, grades, and surveys.

User Progress and Attendance

The user progress tool acts as an all-in-one view of all interactions our clients' users have with a course. Progress reports are easily created and shared with users and parents. Usage patterns help our clients compare the progress of a specific user to that of their peers. This also allows for users to see how they stack up against the rest of their class.

Quizzes

Our robust quizzing tool includes a complete toolkit of question styles that can be adapted to any pedagogy. Questions can be created with varying difficulty and randomized within a quiz. The question library stores questions in a common location where they can easily be shared or reused. Quizzes and questions can also be created and managed using third-party tools.

Self-Assessment

The self-assessment tool enables our clients to test their users' comprehension of course material and receive immediate feedback. Self-assessments support the full range of questions available in quizzes and can be quickly assembled by reusing questions from the consolidated question library shared with the quizzing tool.
