ODYSSEYWARE Online® Student Assessment and Content Mastery
Placement Assessment
To ensure accurate grade-level placement, students are evaluated prior to beginning ODYSSEYWARE Online courses. Diagnostic tests establish a correlation between the student’s knowledge/skills base and the requirements needed to master each level of the ODYSSEYWARE content. With this invaluable tool, teachers can direct, manage, and evaluate learning, providing the structure and feedback to effectively diagnose student readiness and make timely adjustments to facilitate student success.
Formative Assessment and Content Mastery
To pinpoint potential difficulties and adjust accordingly, all students are regularly quizzed and tested as they progress through ODYSSEYWARE Online’s course material. With the exception of off-computer projects that require grading by the teacher, scores from online assignments, tests, and quizzes are automatically recorded and updated. Both teachers and students can access this information at anytime. Only after students meet preset mastery benchmarks can they progress to the following unit.
Prescriptive Credit Recovery
Prescriptive Credit Recovery (CRx) provides a unit pretest for ODYSSEYWARE courses, allowing students to “test out” of certain units with performance above a preset threshold. This option is especially useful in addressing credit recovery requirements, helping students prove mastery of the skills covered in particular units.
