Authoring

Learn.net's ACS authoring system allows you to easily create, modify and delete questions and assessments. You author questions and assessments using a browser system that allows features to be deployed widely. Thus your company can easily set up questions and build assessments, tests and surveys.

Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, yes/no, Likert and essay question types are currently supported.

Tests of classroom work can be used as "blended learning." Pre-tests can be established, including to "opt-out." Assembling a test for a course normally takes from ten to thirty minutes. A test can be re-used with other courses if applicable and desired.

Surveys can be assembled and launched and tracked just as easily.







Delivery

ACS allows your organization to deliver your assessments and surveys across the Internet or an intranet. Browser-based delivery enables organizations all over the world to use the Internet or intranets to deliver assessments wherever people are working or studying.

Participants answer the questions, and can, if desired, receive instant feedback. ACS automatically scores, tabulates and stores the questions, answers, and all scores within a secure database. Emails can be sent to prompt an assessment or survey to be completed and forwarded based on time deadlines.

Post-classroom testing on-line is an easy way to assure learning and retention, but without the hassles of manual testing, scoring and posting grades.

MAPLE allows re-scheduling of courses if a test score is too low. Surveys can be delivered, including tracking completions, email notifications, etc.






Reporting

When a participant finishes answering the questions and submits the results MAPLE immediately processes and stores the answers and results. You can store all answers in the ACS answer database and then report directly from the database using a standard browser. Some of the information tracked includes the question presented, the answer given, the time spent, objective score, overall score, time and date taken, etc.

Learn.net offers two pre-defined item analysis reports, multiple status reports and you can also define your own reports.
