Support accountability and inform instruction

Computer-based assessment not only helps address, enrich and measure individual student progress as it occurs, it also provides educators with valuable data for making instructional decisions and creating more effective learning organizations. In assembling their digital learning portfolios, students not only build organization and presentations skills but also document their complete educational journey and accomplishments. Portfolios can migrate with learners through their school years and beyond and serve as an "education ID" that documents learning and achievement.

Technology is also the only means for helping integrate the pieces of the learning puzzle, creating new connections between isolated pockets of assessment and other student and school data over time. Technology helps pinpoint systemic strengths and weaknesses, creating a model for educational accountability and continual improvement.
