• Integrated assessment: Assessment items and tests that can be “played” on any IMS certified LMS can be included in the course – and teacher tailorable as desired

 

• Advanced e-assessment: Sharing of innovative items that have accessibility accommodations built-in!

 

• State standards tagging: All content and assessment components can be tagged with state curriculum standards, including the Common Core

 

• Accessibility & mobility: Apps and content can be enabled to integrate into the academic enterprise regardless of platform and specify alternative content to serve all learners
