Amatrol's SkillACE is the perfect teaching assistant, handling much of the administrative
burden to allow teachers more time to teach. Classroom management has never been easier!
Easy class set-up and reporting
combined with computerized testing and authentic skill assessment are key leverage
points for instructors. Define classes anyway you wish – tests, projects,
skill assessments, attendance, etc.
Reporting is simple with many pre-defined
reports and easy import / export capability.
Pre-Quizzes and quizzes are delivered via the computer with results
automatically reported. Authentic assessment is critical to creating practical
skills students can apply with confidence either in the workplace or in
advanced studies. Instructors can enter assessment results via a PDA
or on any student or teacher workstation.
SkillACE improves
student learning by enabling instructors to focus on learning content and
student progress instead of administrative tracking / reporting.
