iCEV Revolutionizes Custom Assessments in Career and Technical Education

In a significant move for Career and Technical Education (CTE), iCEV has unveiled an enhanced Custom Assessments platform that aims to transform the way educators create and administer assessments. This innovative solution focuses on making the process more intuitive and aligned with instructional goals, ensuring that educators can spend more time on teaching rather than navigating complicated assessment setups.

A Streamlined Experience

With this update, iCEV has unified both its Legacy and Beta Custom Assessments into a single workflow. This consolidation not only simplifies the assessment creation process but also fosters consistency across various CTE courses. Educators can now enjoy a more predictable approach, significantly reducing the time spent on setup decisions. According to Clayton Franklin, Chief Product Officer at iCEV, the intention behind this update was to instill confidence in educators by providing a clearer, more meaningful assessment experience aligned with instructional goals.

"This update is about confidence and clarity. Educators told us they wanted fewer decisions, clearer alignment to instruction, and a more dependable experience. We delivered a simpler process with the same purpose, supporting meaningful, instruction-aligned assessment," Franklin stated.

Key Features of the Enhanced Custom Assessment Experience

1. Unified Process: Older versions of assessments have been streamlined into a singular workflow, promoting uniformity across different educational scenarios.
2. No Disruption to Existing Work: Teachers can rest assured that all current assessments, grading protocols, and student scores remain unchanged, enabling a seamless transition to the new system.
3. Explicit Alignment to Instruction: The new platform ensures assessments are directly linked to lessons, making it easier for educators to modify content and manage the pacing of their instruction.
4. Reduced Setup Complexity: The new setup dramatically minimizes friction, enabling educators to focus on instructional quality rather than administrative tasks.
5. Enhanced Reliability: Improvements have been made to bolster the usability of Custom Assessments, increasing educator confidence in using them as part of their daily instruction practices.

Addressing Educator Needs

The feedback from educators has played a crucial role in shaping this update. iCEV listened to the common challenges faced by teachers, particularly around the creation and flexibility of assessment tools. By lowering complexity and standardizing workflows, iCEV has broadened the scope for adopting Custom Assessments, which leads to improved consistency and scalability across CTE programs.

The upgraded Custom Assessments experience is now accessible to iCEV users, empowering educators to enhance their assessment practices with ease.
