Flexible Assessment Design

Flexible assessment design options correlate assessment with instructional objectives. Access, interaction and feedback controls optimize formative assessments. Securely deliver summative assessments.

Access Controls

Easily specify who has permission to access an assessment, when the assessment appears in the course and the dates it will be available to students.  Set dates in advance. ANGEL will handle the rest.

Interaction Controls

Determine how students interact with the assessment. 

• Display all questions at once or one question at a time.
• Present questions in sets. Apply different display options to different questions sets.
• Randomize questions and/or answers.
• Set time limits.
• Make submissions anonymous.

Mastery Settings for self-study allow students to drill against a set of questions until they achieve the proficiency level you determine.

Review and Feedback

Flexible options let you decide when, for how long and how often students can review assessments.  Feedback options – correct or incorrect, answer key, grader remarks, points possible, overall score and more – can be displayed after the student completes one question, a set of questions or the entire assessment.

Learning Outcomes Management

Map desired outcomes or standards to an assessment, or individual assessment questions.  Comprehensive reports identify outcomes or standards applied, and student performance against those standards.

Secure Browser

ANGEL’s integrated Secure Browser enables secure testing without a dedicated lab.  The browser blocks all other programs and locks the student in the testing environment. Intended for use in a proctored setting, the secure browser can easily be provided to a remote proctor allowing distance students to travel to a local setting for secure testing. An additional medium security quiz option restricts mouse and keyboard functionality by not allowing right clicking, printing, etc.

Optimized Assessment Creation

Question editors make it easy to create questions, use questions stored in a departmental Question Bank or to import questions from publisher content cartridges.

Create Questions

ANGEL supports all question types – true/false, multiple choice, multiple select, matching, fill-in-the blank, ordering, short answer, essay. Including graphics and media files in questions is simple using ANGEL’s Inline HTML Editor.

Share Questions

ANGEL’s Question Pool tool lets you quickly search through all available questions.  Advanced filters limit results based on keywords, question type, difficulty, question bank or associated standard.

Keyword Manager formalizes the use of keywords in an assessment. Easily share or standardize keywords by importing or exporting a simple text file.

Import Questions

ANGEL imports question content from publisher content cartridges and other LMS vendors.  A leader in the IMS Common Cartridge initiative, ANGEL is all the first LMS to fully support the IMS Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) 2.1 specification.
