Flexible, Simple Class Set-up and Reporting
Setting up classes and enrolling students is beautifully simple with SkillPro Advantage. Instructors can define classes in anyway they wish – tests, projects, skill assessments, attendance, etc. SkillPro Advantage comes complete with a wide variety of pre-defined reports covering student performance, class performance, grade reporting, skill portfolios and more. Importing and exporting information is simple, enabling instructors to easily meet reporting requirements. |
Computerized Testing and Tracking
Pre-Quizzes and quizzes are delivered via
the computer with results automatically reported. Both a numeric score as well as
completed objectives are reported. Test questions are tied to objectives, ensuring a
thorough evaluation of student knowledge. By being able to see what questions they
missed, teachers can easily identify where they need to spend additional study time.
Amatrol's pre-quiz feature allows class management to boost not only instructor productivity but also student effectiveness. The pre-quiz feature facilitates a faster
student pace for those starting with more
knowledge by identifying areas needing
further study. Likewise, it allows a student to skip sections where knowledge is sound. |
