Press Release: Questionmark White Paper Explores Assessment Security Issues

For Immediate Release

LONDON – February 5, 2010 – The Aviation Industry Industry CBT (Computer-Based Training) Committee (AICC) has certified version 5 of the Questionmark™ Perception™ assessment management system as compliant with AGR-010 (The AICC Guideline for Web Based Computer Managed Instruction Systems).

Perception was the first assessment software system to achieve the AICC standard and has now been certified for the fifth time. This makes Questionmark the first product vendor to have gone through five consecutive two-year certification cycles. The new award reaffirms Perception’s longstanding ability to link seamlessly with enterprise management systems that are also compliant with the AICC guideline and demonstrates Questionmark’s commitment to support open standards.

Questionmark Perception version 5 makes it simpler to deliver a single assessment to many different types of devices and manage the combined results all together. Questionmark auto-senses each device and delivers assessments to it in the right format, automatically. A single assessment can be delivered to desktops, laptops, smart phones and other mobile devices — or embedded within wikis, blogs or Web pages. The new system also provides streamlined management of multilingual assessments and, in addition to providing built-in accessibility tools, is easy to use with assistive technologies. Enhanced scalability and security, as well multilingual participant interfaces and streamlined management of multilingual assessments, are among other recent improvements.
