The scope: questions, feedback and scoring, the elements of a great assessment engine.

The Logic of Questions and Answers: Ticklers offer a sophisticated palate of options from which to tailor the logic of questions to the content. Ticklers mean a lot more than just a few multiple-choice questions at the end.
Progressive feedback increases learning efficiency: Questions help solidify memory by increasing content repetition without causing boredom. Questions build comprehension as memory is recalled and manipulated in altered situations.
Reduce dependence on verbal skills: Ticklers allow authors to create visually-oriented questions that rely less heavily on learner's abilities to comprehend words.

Sales product readiness: EnviroGreen needs to get its international sales force in the field with the latest product information immediately. They employ Ticklers as tutorial tools. Learners are assessed as they learn.
What do you think? Sometimes there is no right answer; you just want to know what the learner thinks. Ticklers allow you to deploy a number of subjective evaluation tools.

Anytime is a good time to ask a good question: Questions are software objects. The same question can diagnose a learner's needs, reinforce a content presentation, and appear in a quiz. Questions can be grouped, sequenced, randomly drawn from a pool, linked into a logical tree, or organized progressively.
Guiding the learner: You can deploy Ticklers to assess a learner's current knowledge before you administer training. Ticklers allow you to organize questions into a binary tree —get it right go here; get it wrong go there.
Technical Readiness: When technical knowledge counts . . . Ticklers are up to the job. Timed examsComplex evaluation algorithms

Types & Scoring: the key to proper assessments.

Rich question types are a fundamental key to great assessments...

• Question Types: runs through all the possible tickler question types (with explanations). Standard styling.
• Rich UI Questions: demonstrates the power of images, video and external links for ticklers. Custom background, transparent navigation bar and custom help button.
• ASIC Test: a "technical" type tickler. Random 15 questions out of a pool of 72. This tickler is timed (5 minutes): see the timer under the help button, run the time down to 2 minutes to see the warning, run the time down to zero (without finishing the test) to see what happens.
• ASIC Test (regex): a "technical" type tickler. Demonstrates scoring using Regular Expressions. Try various answers (case, order, multiple words) to see what happens.
• Learning Test: a tickler that shows the various ways of providing feedback to test takers.
• Math Type Questions: demonstrates the ability to handle math symbols and equations.

Behavioral: also know as ...

This type of question...

• Grammar: work through the "Parts of Speech" Tickler. When you have finished, try it again—make some different choices —and see how the Tickler changes (i.e. the path you take through the tickler varies with your answers). Standard styling.
• Evaluating student experiences: student evaluation using various evaluation methods.
• Evaluating leadership ability: student evaluation using a behavioral model.

Alternate Presentations: there is more than one way to use assessments.

The ability to modify easily the scoring modules allows for a variety of assessments...

• Integrated Questions: a content page with questions on the page. Questions reinforce the material being presented.
• Using the test to teach: a portal to tests that both teach and evaluate at the same time.

Multi Presentations: there are many ways to re-use an assessment.

The object oriented nature of the assessment engine allows to easily repurpose a test...

• Standard: a content page with questions on the page. Questions reinforce the material being presented.
• Max Questions: a content page with questions on the page. Questions reinforce the material being presented.
• Serial Questions: a content page with questions on the page. Questions reinforce the material being presented.
• Form Questions: a content page with questions on the page. Questions reinforce the material being presented.
• Timed Down: a content page with questions on the page. Questions reinforce the material being presented.
• Timed Up: a content page with questions on the page. Questions reinforce the material being presented.

Fun: assessment can be used in a lighter context.
