- AudioAssessment is a patent-pending tool for a form of authentic assessment for online courses. Faculty members first call a toll-free number and follow the instructions to "speak-in" a few "discussion questions." Students then dial the toll-free number, enter an exam-specific authentication number, hear the exam question(s) and then speak their "oral exam" answers into the phone. Results are directly emailed or made available for download to the instructor. A gradeable rubric is available. AudioAssessment is a great way to measure the degree to which a learner is conversant with the constructs being used in a course. This product is scheduled to be commercially available in 2008. |

- Thousands of faculty in FacultyFinder.com are allowed to indicate
if they are available to proctor high stakes exams for students
from other institutions. Using a zip code search and integrated
mapping tool, students and schools are efficiently able to identify
neutral faculty to administer exams. Proctors indicate if they
can provide Internet and printing capability. This solution is
targeted to be commercially available in 2008. |
 |
- Standardized and/or custom end-of-course evaluations for distance
learning courses. Educational institutions use PostCourse to evaluate
the perceived effectiveness of distance learning courses. These
evaluations aid institutions in overall quality improvement and
serve as key evaluative instruments in a self-study process. |
 |
- ExamEye
tracks all activity on a computer during an online testing session.
A log of the activity is appended to the test answers. This allows
students to view multimedia and other approved resources during
a test. This solution is targeted to be commercially available
in 2008. |
