Assessments
as an integral part of the learning process
dtiMetrics™ is an assessment system that allows tests and
exams to be embedded within the instruction, and looks at assessment
as a means of instruction rather than as a mere method to judge
student learning. The system is designed for instructor led learning
but can also be built into any online education
delivery.
A complete assessment loop for a complete academic
solution
Assessment is an integral part of any education system, and
considerable amount of energy is devoted to this activity. The two
major reasons for assessing students are to give them feedback about their
progress towards the development of their knowledge,
understanding and skills, as well as determine their performance
level with respect to knowledge, understanding, and skills.
These are also called formative and summative
assessments respectively.
By adding a pre-assessment (diagnostic) component,
dtiMetrics™ completes the assessment
loop.
Integrated assessments for a high-technology
solution
Effective integration of assessment into the instruction
requires that the assessment activities become part of the
instructional program. While this sounds quite simple, the process
of developing such assessments requires extensive planning, and a
thorough knowledge of desired learning outcomes. dtiMetrics™
achieves such integrated assignments through close collaboration
with content developers, instructors, and publishers of the learning
content.
In-depth remediation engages the
student
In order to offer students feedback about their progress
dtiMetrics™ provides a customized Remediation
Plan
available in real time. The plan remediates back to the
learning content and when that content is a book often down to the
page level. This convenience and ease of use keeps the student
engaged and learning.
In-depth analysis helps the instructor
teach
The instructors control panel in dtiMetrics™ offers
sophisticated and efficient performance measures. The reports will
show all grades
as well as performance per
student
and per class .
Instructors will be able to evaluate both student and test
performance in intuitive and meaningful reporting formats. Some
notable reports are the Performance per
Learning Objective
report that shows achievement per
objective. Another report that will greatly assist the instructor is
the Class
Matrix
that graphically alerts the instructor to areas that
may require extra attention whether with the student or the tests.
With the dtiMetrics™ control panel the instructor has 100% of the
control, 100% of the time.
