Pilot Math
The Story
Think for a minute about the typical high school student. At school, they attend class, reading from their text, working on assignments and collaborating with their peers on projects. Once they return home, their world is quite different. Drop by any high school student’s home and you will see that they have access to a variety of media. The print world of school doesn’t match the digital world in which they live.
Current research is indicating that, unlike their parents, the quality of their work doesn’t degrade with the more tasks they undertake. Students nowadays are master multi-taskers.
The Answer
Pilot Math acknowledges that students live in a media-rich environment and can multi-task between these media. Etraffic provides not only print textbooks and workbooks to schools but also related multimedia web-based resources.
Students have the ability to access, research and master knowledge opportunities whether they are at school or at home. Teachers can access hundreds of rich media experiences and incorporate them into their classes. Alternately, they can send their students home to access the media, and rely on the text and workbooks for classroom instruction.

SP SnapShot
The Story
Look at student test data and really delve into it. Deriving meaning from a thick stack of printouts or cross-referencing spreadsheets by hand is hard. It can take a lot of time and effort to find those discoveries that could make all the difference to a student’s education. Most data sourcing tools only source data in unfriendly spreadsheet formats.
The Answer

These results display in an easy-to-understand format so that teachers and administrators can decide how to make a difference in the lives of their students. Educators can use the information to make informed decisions on how to impact student achievement, school improvement and staff professional development

Scatterplots Graphs PHP queries the massive MySQL database which transforms the results into XML. The XML feeds a Flash application that provides an intuitive and visually stunning scatterplot. For instance, you can hover over a "dot" on the scatterplot and a menu pops up showing the student's name. Click on a student name and you will transfer to a page with extensive details about that student. |

Bar Graphs Bar graphs will display learning gains and any other type of test measure including summarizing achievement across different proficiency levels, seeing the score distribution of content subscores, and so on. |

Trend Reports and Status Reports Status Reports show a one year summary for a school and Trend Reports show multi-year comparison of the schools' scores. Status Reports show average by grade, teacher and demographics, and Trend Reports show average by grade and demographics. |
StudyBUZZ
The Story
Teachers don’t always have the time to offer students individual guidance in their area of need. Students aren’t always familiar with what curriculum they need to master in order to do well on an exam. Students don’t always know where they need to focus their studies in advance of an exam. They need help preparing for their exams.
The Answer
StudyBUZZ takes the guesswork out of what to study and focuses study time. When a student uses StudyBUZZ, they answer a number of online questions. Each student receives a personalized study guide that identifies their strengths and weaknesses. The study guide provides the information needed to master their exam. Students can then target areas of further study and re-assess their understanding of key concepts before writing their exam.

Quiz The Administration site and the auto-saving test engine use AJAX extensively. As a student completes a quiz, it automatically saves the student’s answers. If their browser crashes they can easily resume where they left off. The navigation of the test is not linear. They can easily jump to any question on the test. As they answer questions, the question number turns green to indicate that they've answered them. If they are stuck and want to return to a specific question, they can flag it, which turns the question number red. They can then return to it later, unflag it, and answer it. |
