New York, New York (PRWEB) December 06, 2012
LinkIt! (http://www.linkit.com), the K-12 education technology company, announced today that they have upgraded to a fully cloud-hosted platform that allows users to access all of LinkIt!s assessment and reporting tools under one roof.
The new platform was designed to improve performance, enhance functionality, accelerate implementation start-up time, and set the stage for the design and delivery of next-generation assessments, says Josh Powe, co-founder and president of LinkIt!
LinkIt!s new platform incorporates innovative features that streamline the entire process of assessing student performance and teacher efficacy, including comprehensive and flexible item banking tools, online and offline test delivery, rapid scoring, and sophisticated analytics. This new platform puts LinkIt! way ahead of its peers for next-generation enterprise ready deployment. As important, the user interface is intuitive, easy-to-use and fun for users, comments Karen Winter, CIO and EVP of Special Projects for LinkIt!
The new offerings have struck a chord with users too. Jill Hanley, a third grade teacher at Hudson Citys MC Smith Intermediate School in New York explains, Since we began utilizing LinkIt! in September, my record keeping, grade keeping, management of reading groups, Response to Intervention (RTI) groups, and parent conferences have been completely streamlined. To have all your data at your fingertips is invaluable. You are able to generate a thorough profile of each and every student. There is no subjectivity. There are no extra folders, checklists, or piles of information.
Mark Brenneman, principal at MC Smith continues, LinkIt has proved to be a valuable partner in the management and use of data to drive instruction and identify students in need of services. It has enhanced the instructional experience for every student in our building.
The improved technology is only part of the story. Without a firm commitment to partnering with school systems to understand their unique needs and challenges, even the best technology may sit on the proverbial shelf. Jean Hutton, head teacher and testing coordinator at Mountain Oaks Charter School in California explains, LinkIt! continues to actively expand and refine what is offered and is quick to respond whenever we have questions or concerns. They have been very willing to work with our unique school model to customize solutions to meet our needs.
