Questionmark Perception Assessment Software

Delivery and Reporting

Printing and Scanning Feature

Although online assessment delivery offers many benefits, sometimes the traditional paper-and-pencil method is simply more practical. Printing and Scanning is an assessment printing and scanning solution for Perception that enables users to author assessments in Perception that participants may read and answer on paper. Participant responses can then be scanned and uploaded to Perception for scoring and reporting.

Instant Feedback to Enhance Learning

Feedback is provided in formative and diagnostic assessments to diagnose issues, correct misconceptions, and prescribe a suitable learning experience. Prescriptions can include e-learning, seeking advice of a mentor, instructor-led training and/or self-study. Feedback for summative assessments is limited to providing pass/fail information and certificates of completion.  It is possible to author and provide feedback at a question, topic level, and/or assessment level. Item, topic and assessment related feedback is authored within Authoring Manager. Instant feedback can optionally include scores achieved, graphics, multimedia, sound, videos, links to other assessments and URLs pointing to useful learning materials.

Secure Delivery for High-stakes Exams

Questionmark Secure is designed to provide a secure environment to deliver high stakes assessments such as tests and exams. Questionmark Perception can deliver questions to any web browser, but most browsers are designed to be as open and flexible as possible. When you are delivering high-stakes tests and exams online, you need far more security than a web browser can provide. With Perception you can specify that a test or an exam is only delivered via Questionmark Secure to significantly reduce the risk of cheating.

On-demand Reports, Results and Item Analysis

Questionmark Perception's Enterprise Reporter provides secure access to twelve report types including:

• Coaching Report
• Item Analysis
• Test Analysis
• Question Statistic Report
• Assessment Overview Report
• Survey Report
• Score List Reports
• Transcript Report
• Grade Book Report
• Gap Report
• Export to ASCII
• Export to Excel

Filters for dates, date ranges, participant names, special (demographic) fields, topics, and assessments, can be applied so that you view the information you need.  In addition to these report types the Perception answer database is documented in order to allow third party reporting programs access the results if they have been configured with sufficient security by the system administrator. Results can also be extracted using a series of APIs known as QMWISe.

Adaptive Branching

Define the flow of questions delivered in assessments. The order of questions presented in an assessment can be predefined or randomized – or you may create complex branching scenarios that enable assessments to “adapt,” presenting certain questions to participants based on how they answer specific questions or score on particular topics.
