Thinkronize and FSCreations Partner to Provide Educators with Convenient Access to Remediation Content
Newest version of ExamView integrates netTrekker resources for immediate reinforcement
Cincinnati, OH - Thinkronize, developer of the netTrekker suite of safe educational search products, and FSCreations have partnered to provide educators with instant access to reinforcement content for their students. The newest version of FSCreation's flagship product, ExamView v5.2, now features an item remediation summary that allows teachers to instantly link to remediation content provided by netTrekker. Any netTrekker classic or netTrekker d.i. customer who purchases ExamView will now have access to this new functionality.
Educators nationwide utilize FSCreations' ExamView on a daily basis to save time, assess student knowledge, improve instruction, and accelerate learning. With the newest version of ExamView, teachers can now access netTrekker content from the item remediation summary, which indicates subject-areas that may need additional reinforcement. For example, if a teacher wanted to find out how well her students performed on a recent history exam, she would generate a report through the ExamView Test Manager. The report might indicate that more than half of her students answered a question about Abraham Lincoln incorrectly. At this point, she could choose to see an item remediation summary, which would list a number of keywords, such as "Gettysburg Address" and "Reconstruction." Each keyword is linked directly to a corresponding netTrekker results page, which would allow her to browse through the material provided to quickly and easily find relevant resources to conduct a review session with her students.
The teacher could also use the ExamView Learning Series, high-quality state-aligned question items, to create assignments that are based on state standards. She could then generate reports that link directly to the state standard remediation items in netTrekker.
"Through our integration with ExamView, we are providing yet another way for our customers to save time searching for resources so they can spend more time on instruction," said Christine Willig, president of Thinkronize. "Working to incorporate new forms of assessment and reinforcement into the classroom brings us another step closer to true differentiated instruction and meeting each child's individual learning needs."
In addition to the netTrekker integration, teachers can create and manage question items along with assessments, work sheets and study guides for their classrooms with ExamView. Also, users can administer paper assessments scored manually or with scanning devices, deliver online assignments over the school network or the Internet, and report and analyze student performance to inform instruction and remediation.
"Our goal with ExamView v5.2 is to provide a tool by which teachers can accurately access student progress and offer educational resources to help improve student learning and instruction," said FSCreations president, Christopher Schaber. "The resources available through netTrekker are safe and reliable - resources we feel comfortable and confident providing to our users."
Many school districts nationwide already see netTrekker as an essential classroom-learning tool, with more than 8.3 million students in 14,000 schools across the country currently using the safe search engine. The award-winning product by Thinkronize has helped thousands of educators individualize instruction for all levels of learners, and now netTrekker's 180,000 educator-selected resources are more accessible and adaptive for remediation needs.
