Glass3D - An innovative, real-time, interactive 3D and 2D simulation system
Interactive, complex items used to require the significant (i.e. costly) assistance of a computer programmer to produce. Each item was essentially a custom software project. This made it very difficult for many testing programs to incorporate these advanced items into their examinations.
Atvantus is now able to provide its clients with Glass3D - an incredible software package that produces exceptionally clear 3D graphics that can be easily manipulated by examinees in a testing environment.
Created by Atvantus' founding partner, Zoomorphix Systems, over an eight-year period, this powerful tool provides a simple interface to allow item writers to author complex 3D items by themselves.
Glass3D has been used very successfully in national computer-based licensure exams for several years and is presently being incorporated into several new examinations.
Glass3D Features include:
* Real time 3D interactive items* Tutorial screens;
* The ability to score items using point detection or object
interaction rules
* On-the-fly, automatic or manual scoring options
* Item scoring (including scaled scoring and domain scoring);
* Full replay of candidate interaction with items.
ExamStudio - The Next Generation of Item Banking and Test Development Software
In addition to the techniques and technical ability to develop advanced item types and performance-based tests, a test developer must have the ability to author, sort, store and retrieve advanced items to create tests. Traditional item banking systems were not designed to handle these new formats. Up to now, this meant that developers had to create a patchwork of unrelated files and programs to store the variety of items desired. Atvantus has changed that!
With Atvantus' Exam Studio, creating advanced item types and performance-based tests has never been easier. Exam Studio provides, in one place, all of the tools and support needed to create, store and retrieve a wide variety of advanced and traditional item types. This state-of-the-art system provides:
* A user friendly interface;* Support for all traditional item types;
* Tools for creating and storing advanced item types
* (including interactive graphics and simulations);
* The ability to import, store and play back candidates'
* interactions with advanced items;
* Support for multimedia stimuli (including audio, video
* and 3-D interactive images);
* Ability to store items and produce tests in multiple
* languages (including double-byte languages); and
* The ability to export exams to any test delivery system
* in any format including QTI.
