Assessment Authoring
Assessment Authoring
An online platform to simplify workflows, assign tasks and deadlines, track progress and maintain quality
We can help you modernise and improve your assessment authoring
We know that the test development process can often be very manual and disjointed. Because of this, many teams we work with have been struggling to innovate, scale-up, or overcome disruption to their assessment authoring process. We have created tools to help them rethink their approach to question writing and simplify their development cycle.
Your authoring could be made easier if…
- The ‘back and forth’ nature of your test reviewing cycle makes for a lengthy and complex authoring process.
- External test authors are hard to keep track of. You’re constantly chasing them to meet publishing deadlines and feel like you're 'spinning plates' to keep things running.
- You have to hunt for old versions of Word documents in email chains from months ago to look back on comments and changes recommended along the way.
- Getting projects ‘over the line’ feels like an uphill battle, you’re constantly balancing the need to improve efficiency with the need to maintain assessment quality.
- Previous disruption to your testing has created the need to be flexible and agile in the way your development team works, but you feel ‘behind the times’.
