Quizlet (web 2.0)
http://quizlet.com/
Quizlet (web 2.0)
This web 2.0 website has potential across several languages and different curriculum areas ... not just English!
My mission for Quizlet is to make learning vocabulary not a chore. I know a lot of teachers assign vocabulary to students, but few students actually "absorb" words into their vocabularies after they take their test.
Which kind of defeats the purpose, right? So Quizlet is my response - it aims to make learning fun, thus make learning effective. At the very least, it can help students do better on quizzes and tests even if they don't fully "absorb" their words.
Quizlet is free and will remain free to all users.

Online Grades
http://www.onlinegrades.org/
Online Grades is a free-software project that allows K-12+ student grades and attendance information to be posted onto a dynamic web site.
Online Grades is not a web-based gradebook. Instead, it accepts grade export information from several popular gradebook software programs such as Easy Grade Pro, Gradekeeper, Misty City's Grade Machine, and PGGP and places the grade information online securely.
The Online Grades software is free; there is no software cost to post your grade results online. However, to use the software, both an internet-accessible web server with PHP and access to a MySQL database are necessary. Because of these requirements, Online Grades is commonly set up and configured by a school or district tech person.

Online Grades
http://onlinegrades.sf.net/
Online Grades is a free-software project that allows K-12+ student grades (and soon attendance information!) to be posted onto a dynamic web site.
Online Grades is not a web-based gradebook. Instead, it accepts grade export information from several popular gradebook software programs such as Easy Grade Pro, Gradekeeper, Misty City's Grade Machine, and PGGP and places the grade information online securely.
Student, Teachers, Parents, and Administrators each get their own personal login into Online Grades, which allows them to see all of the grades in all of their classes. If parents have more than one student at a school or district, they only need one parent login to see the grades of all of their students.
The Online Grades software is free; there is no software cost to post your grade results online. Online Grades is free because the software is developed by volunteers and is in-part sponsored by the schools using the Online Grades software.

The INCERTS System
http://www.incerts.co.uk/WebSiteSystem.aspx
The INCERTS System
INCERTS is a software system that runs on our servers, so that schools don't need to install it or keep it updated. Teachers just start Internet Explorer, connect to the Internet, and go to our Login page.
As and when they can, classroom teachers enter their assessments of their pupils' progress towards each National Curriculum Statement of Attainment on a very easy-to-use web page. This takes only a few clicks of the mouse, and the system helps by popping-up appropriate text from National Curriculum as needed.
When it comes to report writing time, the system produces a written report for a pupil's parents based on the assessments the teacher has already made?nstantly! The report appears in Microsoft Word, where personal comments can be added or the text can be tweaked if desired.

The Performance Indicators in Primary Schools (PIPS) Project
http://www.pipsproject.org/
The Performance Indicators in Primary Schools (PIPS) Project is one of the family of information systems offered by the Curriculum, Evaluation and Management Centre (CEM Centre) at the University of Durham.
PIPS tracks a number of aspects of schooling as pupils move through the primary sector. We gather data on individual pupils using assessment materials that are quick and easy to administer. These data are processed at Durham and the results passed back to schools. The results allow schools to look objectively at the progress and attitudes of individual pupils. PIPS feedback also enables teachers to judge their schools performance within the context of the thousands of others using the assessments at the same time, whilst protecting the confidentiality of each school. The intention is to promote school improvement by providing professionals with high quality information.
PIPS Assessments are curriculum based and annually reviewed for validity and reliability. They are suitable for use in British schools (including independent settings) and assessments are available for use in overseas schools. Indeed, PIPS is used in 25 countries around the world including Australia and New Zealand.

Tests can be a delight
http://www.eep-edu.org/InnService/Innovation_Profile/InnProf091.htm
Tests can be a delight
Being tested by others can be stressful and depressing. Testing yourself and proving how capable you are makes you feel good.
Before the advent of ICT, self-testing your knowledge and mental skills was not easy.
Paper tests provided few approaches and could not provide feedback, only right answers against which you could compare your answers.
Making online tests available to students is a much more effective way of enabling them to self-test. A wide range of different question styles can now be assessed and marked automatically.
The Learnwise Learning Platform from Granada Learning incorporates Testwise.

Pupil Achievement Tracker (PAT) .. UK
http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/teachingandlearning/afl/PAT
Pupil Achievement Tracker (PAT) .. UK
The Pupil Achievement Tracker (PAT) software was sent to all English schools in October 2003 on CD-Rom and is a valuable tool to support Assessment for Learning (AFL). The software can be uploaded from the CD-Rom to as many computers in your school as you wish; it can also be uploaded to the network.
The PAT enables teachers, heads and others to analyse performance data. It generates information which can be used to support teaching and learning, raise standards and help identify pupils' needs and maximise their potential. It's also very useful for target-setting.
It does all this by enabling schools to look back at their own performance results and compare them to the results of pupils in other schools across the country.

e-Assessment Shootout Winners
http://www.trainingconference.com/assessment.htm
e-Assessment Shootout Winners
The 2004 E-assessment Product Shootout was held at Training 2004 Conference and Expo, March 1-3, in Atlanta, GA.
Refereed by Bryan Chapman, an e-learning analyst with the research firm brandon-hall.com in Sunnyvale, CA, the shootout pitted competing e-assessment providers against one another to see how well their systems created online tests, quizzes and exams as part of a blended curriculum.
All told, nine e-assessment companies answered the challenge by using their own technology to create full exams in front of a live audience (members of which served as the competition's judges).
