Delivery: Author Once, Deliver to Many Devices

Now it's easier than ever to deliver assessments to multiple different types of devices (including smartphones and internet-connected handhelds such as the Apple iPod Touch), or to create learning and assessment mash-ups by embedding quizzes or surveys within wikis, blogs and web pages.

Questionmark's auto-sensing, auto-sizing delivery features take the guesswork out of blended delivery, enabling you to author an assessment once, schedule it once and then deliver it in as many different ways as they like.

When delivering an assessment, Perception v5 auto-senses the participant’s device and browser, then delivers the assessment formatted appropriately for the device/browser’s requirements. Perception’s “on the fly” auto-sizing dynamically adjusts and sizes the “screen furniture” and “skin” of an assessment – the buttons, controls and template graphics — so they fit (and look great) on just about any screen size or resolution imaginable.

Implementing solutions like this can improve the user’s experience and create an easy to access and more effective learning environment. Often, embedding assessments in wikis, web pages and blogs can help to improve the users learning experience by:

• Maintaining a single place to learn and assess yourself
• Personalizing the process of learning and assessing to ensure the relevance to the learner
• Focusing the learners’ attention
• Provide feedback to assist the learner correct misconceptions, practice their memory recall, and provide confidence in what they do actually know

Assessments can also be embedded in wiki, web page or blog platforms to help learners:

• Create intrigue and identify what they need to learn before they access the learning material. The assessment feedback can even direct the learners to the relevant material in the wiki, web page, or blog
• Identify what the learner has successfully learnt/recalled from the learning material they used

Other benefits of embedding an assessment into these platforms, include:

• Providing a seamless user experience
• Giving more focused knowledge sharing based on the results
• Combining other media within Perception or within the web resource.
