Via Response Technologies Releases Support for K-12 Common Core Standards

ORLANDO, Fla. - Jan. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Via Response Technologies announced an array of capabilities for supporting K-12 Common Core standards. Capabilities include robust assessment tagging and analytics, which leverage capabilities Via Response has provided to the higher education sector for over three years. K-12 can use Via Response’s tagging mechanism to organize learning materials around common core standards. This powerful combination of learning content and standards-based tagging enables teachers to create, archive, and recycle specific questions or assessments. Questions are searchable and can be tagged to multiple learning outcomes that may include local, state and national standards. This cloud-based platform helps teachers demonstrate individual student progress towards achieving Common Core standards.

Via Response’s release for K-12 Common Core support was prompted by two recent trends - the widespread adoption of the Common Core Standards by all but five states along with the rapid adoption of mobile-devices as learning platforms within primary and secondary education. K-12 teachers can use Via Response’s cloud-based platform to engage and assess students both in and outside of the classroom through any mobile smart device – phones, tablets, laptops and even eBook readers.

Over the next 12-months, school districts are expected to begin assessing students’ content mastery using “next generation assessments,” or interactive online exams. With these new assessment practices, web-based resources are becoming necessities for learning.  Via Response provides a suite of tools that enable teachers to conduct real-time formative assessments that produce detailed student performance analytics—useful for verifying both student progress towards and achievement of Common Core standards.

Via Response’s President, Derrick Meer, understands how dedicated teachers are regarding their students’ success. “Via provides teachers with an innovative, yet easy-to-use method for engaging and preparing K-12 students for success in college and/or a career. In addition, Via provides teachers and administrators with detailed analytics that quickly identify at-risk students and track student progression towards learning outcomes. We are honored to provide our teachers with a platform that makes their jobs easier, while enabling students to progress using Internet and mobile-based technologies that will be the norm in their adult lives.”
