Unlimited Assessment Creation for All Types of Assessments

Galileo’s innovative Assessment Planner, Test Builder, and Item Builder tools make it possible for teachers and administrators to create and edit interim assessments, as well as build their own items aligned to meet the rigor of state standards. Today we are going to focus on the capabilities of the Galileo Test Builder features. 

Galileo Test Builder makes it easy for teachers and teaching teams to create multiple types of assessments. Test Builder is an intuitive, point-and-click interface for creating common formative assessments at the school and class level and in multiple subject areas using items including technology enhanced items. Designed to be optimized for desktops, laptops, and tablets, teachers can create an assessment by simply selecting the standards of interest in ELA, math, or/and science, automatically search the item banks, and pick the questions that best fit their needs. There are over 80,000 items in the ATI Community Item Bank to select from and districts have the additional option to access the Inspect® and Navigate™ item banks. Additionally, the Galileo Test Builder interface includes state-of-the-art Item Builder tools. This makes it possible to create items and to align these items to state standards in any grade and subject. Assessment items may be accompanied by images, text, and links to a variety of media (e.g., videos, images, texts, attached files) and associated with metadata (e.g. DOK). 

Test Builder includes a search item function that makes building formative assessments easy.

Galileo offers flexible test administration with the ability to publish the newly created formative assessment either online and/or offline. Users can quickly copy and edit assessments and items. Users can also place assessment and item content into shared libraries. And don’t forget, the Text Editor, Math Editor, and Chemistry Editor tools simplify building new items involving equations.  

Galileo’s technology supports educators desiring to create items and/or assessments for multiple different measurement purposes. Watch for the new Galileo Tour video which digs deeper into the features and functions of Test Builder.
