Description:

A+SSESS! is a student assessment and testing program designed to interface exclusively with the A+dvanced Learning System. A+SSESS! is designed to allow teachers to quickly and simply determine student skill levels and automatically align the student into the A+LS curriculum content. A+SSESS! utilizes the user file, passwords, log-on names and class structure of A+LS's class and student manager to schedule assessment tests for students within their classes.

A+SSESS! is available in four testing modules: Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, and High School. These modules completely align with the A+LS curriculum content and are designed for test administration to grade levels 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12 respectively. A+SSESS! provides for a pretest, or a series of pretests, and a posttest, or series of posttests, for each grade level and curriculum area. These tests are designed to be completed in a 30-45 minute time period and each question on the tests is associated with a specific learning objective.

Each of the specific learning objectives that are not mastered by the student are compared to a list of A+LS lessons that are associated with that objective. A+SSESS! will automatically recommend and develop a Managed Learning Sequence in the A+LS curriculum content for the student based on that comparison. This A+LS Managed Learning Sequence can be accepted by the instructor or edited by the instructor and the final A+SSESS!-generated Managed Learning Sequence can replace a preexisting A+LS Managed Learning Sequence or be appended to the student's individual assignment file in the A+LS management system.

A+SSESS! provides for continuous, on-line monitoring of class testing activity in a lab network environment, where the teacher can review individual student testing progress at the file server work station monitor. This monitoring is essentially real time, with 5 second continuous updates.

A+SSESS! provides for a number of teacher and administrative reports. These include:

SCHEDULING REPORT: Provides an administrative report for either individual students or a class that is a record of tests taken and scheduled to be taken.

TEST SCORES REPORT: A class report that summarizes the scores on selected tests for each student in the class.

PRETEST REPORT: Provides individual student pretest scores.

POSTTEST REPORT: Provides individual student posttest scores.

PRETEST AND POSTTEST GAINS REPORT: Provides a comparison of pretest and posttest scores and calculates gains.

ITEM ANALYSIS REPORT: Provides a graphical analysis of the percentage of students in a class that missed specific questions and highlights areas of difficulty.
