"Use Illuminate for Easily Administering Summative Assessments"

4/5

What do you like best about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?

Illuminate allows you to create tests with finite testing windows and it keeps students from being able to access the internet while they are testing. You are able to link it to your online grade book and skip the step or having to grade or run scantrons. I also appreciate that teachers can use what others have made and simply assign it to their class with or without making slight modifications. The students are already familiar in CA with the software because of benchmark testing, so it keeps the technology hurdles low- especially for our tech savy teens.

What do you dislike about ISI: Illuminate Student Information?

While it does take a substantial amount of time to create an assessment on Illuminate, you are able to share it with other teachers as well as make adjustments to it in the future by making a duplicate and editing that. It also requires that short response answers have specific terms in order for the software to grade students' writing for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ISI: Illuminate Student Information:

Illuminate does take some perseverance when you're learning how to create and administer tests, but the upfront labor does reward you with some to no grading after the fact and with Aeries, the scores can automatically filter into the grade book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ISI: Illuminate Student Information solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previously we had been using Google Forms to administer tests and quizzes online in class, but it was challenging to keep students from using the internet to help them. With Illuminate, students show what they know without the temptation of easily cheating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
