Assessment & TEI Systems
Whether it is high stakes assessment or light-touch testing, we create reliable, performant, and secure solutions that integrate seamlessly with platforms, content, and learning tools.
From building assessment platforms from scratch to extending legacy systems, integrating with third-party solutions, and handling complex conversions or QTI migrations, we deliver comprehensive assessment technology that scales with your needs.
Navigating the Complex World of Assessment Technology
Assessment technology sits at the intersection of pedagogy, psychology, advanced design and engineering. Unlike content delivery, assessments must handle secure item delivery, real-time scoring, adaptive questioning, and complex data analytics while maintaining millisecond response times under heavy load.
The technical challenges are substantial: delivering multimedia-rich Technology Enhanced Items (TEIs) across devices, managing vast item banks with sophisticated tagging and retrieval systems, preventing cheating without compromising accessibility, and ensuring that every interaction is captured, scored, and reported accurately. Add requirements for enterprise-grade security and interoperability, and you have one of the most demanding areas in educational technology.
Our approach combines deep domain expertise with cutting-edge engineering practices, ensuring that complex assessment requirements translate into elegant, user-friendly solutions.
Solutions for Every Assessment Challenge
Building platforms from scratch
When you need a solution that doesn't exist, we engineer it from the ground up. Our full-stack development ensures every component works in perfect harmony, from authoring interfaces and scoring engines to item banks, reporting dashboards, and proctoring systems. We architect for scalability from day one, handling everything from small pilot programs to district-wide deployments with tens of thousands of simultaneous test-takers.
Taking over and extending existing systems
We analyze legacy architectures to identify performance bottlenecks, scalability limitations, and modernization opportunities. Our approach includes refactoring for improved performance, migrating to cloud infrastructure for better reliability, adding new capabilities like adaptive algorithms and enhanced TEI support, and implementing robust caching and optimization strategies while maintaining backward compatibility with existing content and integrations.
Seamless third-party integrations
Our expertise ensures assessment solutions work harmoniously with existing tools, creating unified experiences rather than isolated silos. We handle LTI integration for deep LMS connectivity with grade passback, xAPI implementation for granular learning analytics, single sign-on for seamless user authentication, and custom API development for connecting proprietary platforms ensuring data flows smoothly across your entire educational technology ecosystem.
Standards mastery
Whether working with QTI 3.0 assessment packages, IMS Common Cartridge for content portability, or proprietary XML schemas, we ensure system compatibility, validation before deployment, and smooth content migration. We handle format transformations between competing standards, rescue content from obsolete systems, and build interoperability layers that allow incompatible platforms to communicate effectively.
