Questionmark™ Perception™ Assessments Linked to Dokeos Open Source Management System

STAMFORD, Connecticut, USA, and Brussels, Belgium – May 4, 2005 – Testing and assessment software provider Questionmark today announced that the Dokeos Development Community has integrated Questionmark™ Perception™ with the Dokeos™ Open Source Learning and Collaboration Management system.

Questionmark Perception enables trainers and educators to create, deliver and report on assessments without programming experience or knowledge of HTML.

The Dokeos2Perception connector allows students and instructors to seamlessly link to Questionmark Perception within the Dokeos platform. Institutions can maintain student and instructor profiles within Dokeos while taking advantage of the powerful assessment features of Perception.

Dokeos managers can automatically link assessment participants with the Perception database and schedule Perception assessments. When they create or delete classes in Dokeos, the information is automatically synchronized with the Perception database.

"We are excited about our work with the open source community and Dokeos in particular,” said Questionmark President Eric Shepherd. “Questionmark recognizes the vital and expanding role that open source systems are playing in education and is committed to integrating, partnering and collaborating with this vibrant community. The Dokeos community has assumed an important leadership position by defining how commercial vendors and open source can collaborate effectively. We look forward to growing our associations and relationships with other open source communities around the world."

“Questionmark is helping educators get better value from their e-learning programs,” said Dokeos Director Thomas De Praetere. “The assessment capabilities of Questionmark Perception complement the learning management tools provided by Dokeos.
