IA is happy to announce a new feature available to divisions paper/pencil testing.  The feature is called Quick Key.  Quick Key allows users to assess students using non-IA assessments, while taking advantage of IA’s extensive reporting and data disaggregation services.  Users fill out an answer key online by providing correct answer, objective and Bloom’s Taxonomy level for each question on the assessment.  Students are then assessed using the paper/pencil method, answer sheets are scanned, and teachers then have access to IA reporting.

Quick Key provides IA users with flexible options when assessing students.  Today’s classroom is fast paced and new levels of accountability are being established every day.  IA will continue to expand its product offerings to meet the increasing demands of data driven instruction.
