Hear what Terry Patterson, Director of Distance Learning of South Arkansas Community College has to say about SmarterMeasure integrating with Blackboard.

Client Speaks

Over the past few months, we have been busy with lots of new and exciting features for SmarterMeasure.  Listed below are the new upgrades that all of our current clients have access to for no additional charge.

Feature 1: Increased speed of test search and exporting data
Previously it could take up to 45 minutes to obtain a report of 10,000 students and all their detailed student information, now this report can be available in as little as 3 minutes.

Feature 2: Customize final student report text
To modify the text shown on the student report watch the tutorial below.

Feature 3: Name identifier when emailing a student report
Previously when emailing a report the student's name was not listed.  Now whose report is being sent is clearly shown as indicated in the screenshot below.

New SmarterMeasure Features

Recently at the AIR 50th Annual Forum conference in Chicago, IL, Ruth Salter of Albany State University gave her opinion on the most aspect of end of course evaluations.  Watch and see if you agree.

End of Course Evaluations

Have you ever seen a slide from a presentation and thought "that was cool"?  Well that is what sparked my interest about a recent blog post from Articulate with a tutorial I watched regarding spicing up PowerPoint.  I was surprised it was a slideshow and not some more elaborate program.  Using the instructions from the tutorial, I created a slide with my own photo. Since it was so easy and COOL, I wanted to pass it on.  It shows how to use snapshot focus with people but the same steps could be applied to a variety of subjects.  Try it!  The estimated time to complete it is about 15 minutes if you are a schooled user of PowerPoint.

Fun with PowerPoint

Recently at the TxDLA conference, we had the pleasure of presenting with Dr. Jeff Getchell from Del Mar College.  He highlighted how his school has used SmarterMeasure (formerly known as READI) and the results of a case study about their plan.  To watch the presentation click on the link below.
