Training »
If you are interested in training a group of faculty at your institution, virtual
workshops are available. Learn more about the workshops we offer and other services »
Administration & Scoring »
Tests administered in the online format are scored using machine learning algorithms
specifically formulated for each question. A sample of student responses from the
online administration are provided for institutions to run a modified scoring session.
This condensed scoring session allows institutions to devote more time to faculty
development and CAT Apps. Contact us for pricing and help determining which format is best for you.
CAT App Development »
CAT Apps are discipline-specific critical thinking assignments based on the framework
of the original CAT instrument. These assignments allow faculty to assess not only
content knowledge but also their student's ability to use content knowledge in a critical
thinking/ real-world problem solving task. By focusing on content and critical thinking
skills, students receive feedback not only on their depth of discipline knowledge
but also practice and receive feedback on their ability to evaluate, think creatively,
and solve problems within the discipline. By linking these assignments to program
learning outcomes, CAT Apps become an additional tool to demonstrate student learning.
