Teaches: a utility for school administrators

CTR Review

This is a top-level test management system that is designed to let school administrators watch over student and class progress throughout the year. The orchard metaphor is nice, with each content cluster organized as a Content Tree. To use the system, every student would need access to a computer lab or computer at some point in the day. They then sign in and get tests that have been prescribed to them. It is possible to assign a test every week or day. The test we saw was multiple choice. As you might expect, there are a variety of reporting options, including PDF formats. Content includes Reading A-Z.
