Press Release
ISOPH AND QUESTIONMARK PARTNER TO HELP NONPROFITS DEVELOP COURSE-RELATED
ASSESSMENTS
Chapel Hill, NC (June 25, 2003) - Isoph Corporation,
a leading developer of learning and collaboration technologies exclusively
for the nonprofit community, and Questionmark™, a
leader in testing and assessment software, today announced a partnership
that enables the seamless integration of the Isoph Blue Web-based
collaboration and learning application with Questionmark™
Perception™ testing and assessment software.
Isoph Blue, a scalable, flexible Web-based platform
for managing collaboration and online learning, gives nonprofits
the tools they need to build an online community, manage organizational
learning, and collaborate virtually. Isoph has seamlessly integrated
Perception into the Isoph Blue application so that clients can create
tests and quizzes using Questionmark Perception, incorporate
them into their courseware, and use Isoph Blue's LMS capability
to track and report the test results.
Perception helps users create and deliver tests, quizzes,
and surveys via the Internet or a company intranet. Users can author
questions using wizards and store them within the question/assessment
database. Sophisticated reports provide trainers and managers with
the statistics they need not only to record people’s knowledge,
skills, and attitudes but also to analyze the effectiveness of instruction
and assessments.
“One component of Isoph Blue allows our clients
to develop their own e-learning courses and then publish and deliver
them to their staff and volunteers,” explained Isoph CEO Jeff
Cobb. “Our partnership with Questionmark gives our
clients a tool for adding assessments and evaluations--something
we regard as a critical piece of the learning process--to their
courseware. They will also be able to use the Questionmark
application independent of Isoph Blue, to create internal assessments
and gather the information they need.”
“This partnership makes it very easy to include
assessments within the Isoph Blue platform,” added Questionmark
President Eric Shepherd. “With a single log-in, they can access
both Isoph Blue and Perception, giving them a seamless connection
between the two programs.”
