Turning Technologies, LLC Partners With FSCreations, Inc. To Offer Educational Assessment Solutions
Integration Between TurningPoint and ExamView Will Help School Districts Meet the Demands of the No Child Left Behind Act
Youngstown, OH - Turning Technologies, LLC, a leader in the student response industry, and FSCreations, Inc., announced their signed agreement to integrate their respective products, TurningPoint 2006, interactive PowerPoint software, and ExamView, the leading K-12 test generator. This new partnership will provide teachers and school districts a powerful, industry leading assessment solution.
TurningPoint enables the collection of real-time data from students using ResponseCard(R) keypads or vPad (a software based keypad that resides on a laptop, desktop or pocket pc). TurningPoint's key distinction is that it provides student response technology that is 100% native to Microsoft(R) Office and seamlessly integrated with PowerPoint, Word and Excel. With TurningPoint instructors can teach their class curriculum then conduct multiple assessments of student comprehension from within PowerPoint. TurningPoint boasts minimal learning curve for teachers who understand the fundamentals of working with MS Office.
The ExamView Assessment Suite from FSCreations is a family of software products that creates assessment questions and tests for K-12 classrooms, universities, and corporations. Hundreds of thousands of instructors use ExamView daily to save time, efficiently assess student knowledge, and improve learning. ExamView and associated ExamView question banks have been distributed with more than 3,500 textbook titles by more than 30 educational publishers.
The upcoming technology features will allow the seamless integration of millions of ExamView-formatted content questions into TurningPoint. Test results from ResponseCard XL, Turning Technologies' self-paced testing keypads, will port directly into the ExamView Test Manager for reporting and analysis. FSCreations president, Christopher Schaber, is excited about the partnership. "We have always been focused on providing powerful yet easy-to-use tools for classroom instruction. Pairing our ExamView Learning Series, high-quality state-aligned question items, with the Turning Technologies' ResponseCards gives teachers one more way to efficiently teach, assess, analyze, and remediate."
The results of this technology partnership will provide school districts and educators with excellent tools for meeting No Child Left Behind requirements and increasing student scores in state-standards testing.
"Having the best and most versatile repository of available content questions is key to meeting the needs of our educational users. FSCreations' ExamView products provide the best," stated Mike Broderick, Turning Technologies' President and CEO.
