FAQ
WHAT IS eTutor TestValue?
eTutor TestValue is a suite of applications to manage all phases of a summative or educational Test with automatic correction, in a flexible and comprehensive manner.
WHERE AND HOW IS eTutor TestValue usable?
A fully equipped classroom, equipped with computers (PC or MAC) or mobile devices (Android Tablets), is required to administer a Test. Examinees may also use their private desktop or mobile devices (tablets or smartphones), as well as the administering teacher (PC OR MAC).

In contrast to the most popular auto-correcting software, eTutor TestValue allows the use of the Test with single scrolling of the questions (with optional preview of the remaining), optional timing of the single question, modification of the sufficiency threshold even after the session is over, and comprehensive reporting, both summary and detailed, for families. Assessment can, in addition, be differentiated on the basis of proficiency parameters/subtopic indicators and take into account differentiated time frames for students with DSA.
CAN eTutor TestValue USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?
Yes, the creation of Disciplinary Tests can make use of OpenAI® through an engine built into the MAKER component (used by the teacher). By specifying the subject and topic of the Test, as well as any wishes on the content of the questions, the Test will be automatically composed and prepared for later customization by the teacher.
