Smeebu has been established to promote effective use of online technology in educational assessment. With the rapid expansion of the internet, assessments can be delivered to students with ease, and, at the same time, provide reliable measures of student achievement.

Quality test questions can be made available through the web, incorporating graphics and interactive elements, making assessment tasks engaging for students, and relieving teachers of many hours of test marking.

With paper-and-pen format, standardised testing cannot be implemented at frequent intervals. With online testing, standardised assessments can be delivered regularly throughout the year, providing ongoing monitoring and feedback to the students and teachers in a timely and cost effective manner.

The key personnel at Smeebu have high levels of experience in psychometrics, assessment and information technology. Test questions are developed, trialed and psychometrically calibrated to provide standardised measures of student achievement.

In summary, Smeebu provides:

  • Easy to use online assessments using your usual web browser,
  • Instant student report feedback informing students where they achieved well and where there might be room for improvement,
  • Group reports to monitor performance at class, school and system level against various standards.

    • For teachers and students

    Smeebu can be used for assessing students’ level of proficiency, or simply for practice and learning. In the classroom, teachers can use Smeebu on the Interactive Whiteboard for teaching. Students can also take the assessments individually at school or at home. After all, practice makes perfect!

    For educational systems

    Typical pathway to developing an assessment system using Smeebu:

  • Many educational systems already develop their own high quality paper and pencil assessments. Smeebu can convert these existing paper and pencil questions into an appropriate format for online delivery.
  • We can use existing data or collect additional data to establish a standard framework for reporting student results using these online tests.
  • We can make assessments available to students in accordance to your aims of using the materials. You can decide on the frequency of testing, the availability of the tests, and specific reports you are interested in.
  • We can also assist you in developing new test questions and incorporating these into the existing materials.
