SecureAssess

Built to meet the growing requirements for highly scalable, secure onscreen assessment solutions, SecureAssess provides the next generation of technologies for the delivery of online and LAN assessments managed from one central web-based application.  It has been developed by BTL, a Yorkshire-based e-assessment and e-learning company.

SecureAssess uses web services and Adobe Flex technology to offer a full set of open APIs for the easy integration and extension of the system. SecureAssess also provides a web service framework to allow for further enhancements of reports and exports (such as candidate progress, results, usage etc.).

Key features include:

Only requires a browser and internet access to manage assessment delivery and access an assessment.

• Availability of instant feedback to learners on result and review of completed assessments
• A range of secure delivery options, from completely web based to an offline standalone mode.
• Supports a variety of question types, from simple multiple choice to interactive virtual environments.
• Management of cohort groups within and across centres.
• Includes a “Human Marker” interface for manual marking of free-text questions.
• Support for accessibility built into the learner's assessment with the candidate having control over its use. 
• Comprehensive reporting and analysis.

We have a general help guide which will assist you in understanding some of the elements of the secureAssess system. (This is a swf file which will open in a new window)
