Description
TAO® is the only open source, QTI-native item authoring, item banking, and test assembly system available in the EdTech industry, recognized across the globe as the leading assessment platform for education, career, and industry advancement.
With over 100 million test deliveries in more than 30 languages worldwide, TAO is designed to support the end-to-end assessment cycle through feature-rich modules for test authoring, rostering, delivery and reporting. The solution can be deployed as-is, modified with new features, and integrated with other tools and administrative systems. Thanks to this modular design principle, TAO users can assemble the functionality they require, and/or build on top of a large set of pre-existing features and functionalities.
Unique in the assessment marketplace, OAT also publishes the TAO software under an open license, which guarantees free access to the source code and eliminates expensive software license fees and lock-in to proprietary products. Testing agencies can deploy a system of their own that is based on open TAO components while benefiting from the flexibility to integrate customizations and innovations that meet their needs on their timeline.
Description
Through collaborative efforts, the quality and effectiveness of education systems across the cantons can be significantly enhanced. By developing and executing standardized performance assessments along with a comprehensive set of exercises aimed at competency-based learning and evaluation, the Bildungsraum Nordwestschweiz is positioning itself to establish an educational ecosystem of exceptional caliber. To realize these ambitions, the Institut for Bildungsevaluation, the University of Zurich (IBE), and the Dutch assessment organization Cito have been tasked with outlining the comprehensive requirements for the new educational framework. In this initiative, IBE and Cito identified an extensive range of needs necessary to revamp the educational landscape for Swiss children aged 4 to 13, which ultimately led to the creation of the innovative e-learning platform, Mindsteps. This portal serves as a vital resource, granting both students and educators access to a sophisticated learning environment tailored for assessments of varying significance, thereby fostering a more effective educational experience overall. The implementation of such a system promises to elevate the learning journey and outcomes for countless young learners in the region.
