Isoph and Questionmark Partner to Help Non-Profits Develop Course-Related Assessments

STAMFORD, CT – June 16, 2003 – Isoph Corporation, a leading developer of learning and collaboration technologies exclusively for the nonprofit community, and Questionmark™, a leader in testing and assessment software, today announced a partnership that enables the seamless integration of the Isoph Blue Web-based collaboration and learning application with Questionmark™ Perception™ testing and assessment software.

Isoph Blue, a scalable, flexible Web-based platform for managing collaboration and online learning, gives nonprofits the tools they need to build an online community, manage organizational learning and collaborate virtually. Isoph has seamlessly integrated Perception into the Isoph Blue application so that clients can create tests and quizzes using Questionmark Perception, incorporate them into their courseware and use Isoph Blue's LMS capability to track and report the test results.

Perception helps users create and deliver tests, quizzes and surveys via the Internet or a company intranet. Users can author questions using wizards, and store them within the question/assessment database. Sophisticated reports provide trainers and managers with the statistics they need not only to record people’s knowledge, skills and attitudes but also to analyze the effectiveness of instruction and assessments.

“One component of Isoph Blue allows our clients to develop their own e-learning courses and then publish and deliver them to their staff and volunteers,” explained Isoph CEO Jeff Cobb. “Our partnership with Questionmark gives our clients a tool for adding assessments and evaluations—something we regard as a critical piece of the learning process—to their courseware. They will also be able to use the Questionmark application independent of Isoph Blue, to create internal assessments and gather the information they need.”

“This partnership makes it very easy to include assessments within the Isoph Blue platform,” added Questionmark President Eric Shepherd. “With a single login, they can access both Isoph Blue and Perception, giving them a seamless connection between the two programs.”
