iGiveTest is a solid tool for creating comprehensive tests, testing on the Internet or within your company network (Intranet).
Sight2k today announces the release of iGiveTest v.2, a new version of product, which renders its assistance in detailed assessment of knowledge. It features all basic components, which allow you to create a test of your format. Once you have developed your test and tested your students, iGiveTest will help you to thoroughly analyze the results of your test. You can fill this test with various kinds of data: texts, audio, Flash animation, video, etc. Additionally, this testing package pays special attention to types of questions you can include in your test: multiple choice questions, multiple answer, ordering, matching, short answer, essay questions and the like. Each type of question and each answer variant can be equal to a defined number of positive or negative points. Furthermore, this tool is quite suitable for creating elaborate psychological tests, quizzes, surveys, questionnaires and other types of tests, where as a rule there are no right or wrong answers. iGiveTest allows you to preset interpretation parameters and gather statistics for any of these tests.
iGiveTest provides for convenient questions managing, which means that all questions you have written can be grouped, sorted, filtered, reused. Owing to this feature making tests on a specified topic will become much easier. Apart from this, it is worth of note, that with the help of an import option you will be able to import any questions from any text file or table. Besides, any kind of data can be placed before a test or before a certain question, or can accompany a particular answer variant. Thus, you can give a certain explanation to a certain answer, give to the tested person your analysis of possible mistakes, etc. Also it is good to bear in mind, that in iGiveTest you can specify a rating scale, which you think suits best for this or that type of test, for example: a hundred point scale, a two point scale (passed/failed) and so on.
Another remarkable feature is an opportunity to create a PDF format certificate or report on every tested person. You can configure the elements to be included into the report, or a certificate, which can be issued if the results of a passed test meet some defined requirements. This report or certificate can be sent via e-mail. A set of flexible e-mail options is one more strong point of iGiveTest. Confidentiality and impartiality are guaranteed, since here you can assign certain user groups, which can get access to the test at a certain time. Moreover, you can determine a number of attempts, which the tested may use. iGiveTest allows to create a system record for an each tested user. This system record will define all access parameters. The last, but not least, is that any features and components of iGiveTest can be altered in full accordance with wishes and ideas of a particular customer.
“Looking for an online test software suitable for our new concept took a long time, but in the end we found iGiveTest,” says Stefan Eberhard, the principal of Privatschule Eberhard, Trier. “With the questions from a question data bank one can put together new tests over and over again. This enables us to recognize learning deficits exactly and to deal with them specifically.”
