KP Compass makes it easy for you, the teacher, to build an online course, giving you complete control over your students' PLE experience. Compass lets you create groups and unit plans, add additional materials and questions, set test parameters and get progress reports.

"This is the way curriculum should be designed and deployed." Marlo Loria - Mesa Public Schools

"My students love being able to review the materials and videos at home. Really helped them prepare for their SkillsUSA competition." Pat Doler - Ventura High School

Creating a Class: Develop, Define, and Designate

The teacher dashboard has a number of advanced features and functions. In the simplest terms, KP Compass allows teachers to:

• Develop, save, and publish unit plans
• Define groups and classes that have access to the units
• Designate the mastery levels for student assessment

Adding Content

KP Compass lets you add content such as PDF documents, weblinks, and videos right into your modules. You can blend your materials seamlessly with ours, giving you more flexibility and control over your instructional resources. You can even add your own questions into the test generator and key terms into the auto-term builder.

Generating Bloom's Rated Tests

The KP Compass test generator gives you ultimately flexibility and ease in designing tests and quizzes for your students. Each of our test questions is rated by type and Bloom's classification. You can design balanced tests either by using the quick sliders, or fine tune them with the precision selection of individual questions. A report of your unit plan is available showing the Bloom's analysis and a snapshot of the content. You can also add you own questions and weight them higher or make them mandatory to ensure that they appear in the auto-remediated lessons.

The Auto-Remediation Engine

At the end of each unit plan, the students would go through an auto remediation engine. Each unit plan is set to a mastery level as opposed to being graded on a point scale. The teacher determines the criteria for each level of knowledge and sets the maximum number of test attempts that each student can make. As students continue to learn, their level of comprehension is assessed with "Knowledge Points" and categorized as one of three levels: Novice, Scholar, and Guru. This style will give students an incentive to continue to learn, comprehend, and achieve a higher assessment rating. As the students complete their unit plans, their PLE will continue to grow.

Student Reporting and Progress

From the teacher dashboard you can retrieve a number of statistics to gauge the effectiveness of the lessons and the level of individual student performance. This data can be accesses at the class, unit plan, student or even page level. Some of the available reports are:

• The completion percentage and mastery level for the students in each class or unit plan
• The number of auto-remediation attempts of each student
• The percentage of times a student or group has answered a question correctly
• The percentage of questions answered correctly for each page
• A Test Overlay predictor that will guess the students actual test score

These metrics are valuable in helping to make decisions and improve the quality of your lessons. You will be able to analyze which students need individualized attention and to determine which concepts require additional instruction.
