With DiGIMS Online, you are not required to scramble for
computer lab time for your students.
Students can compose, edit, and revise in class, at home, or in the lab.
Handwritten or typed, essays are turned in to you and you complete the quick
and easy assessment with DiGIMS Online.
DiGIMS Online allows for essays that are created with a word processor as well as
those that are handwritten in a classroom setting that emulate the standardized
testing environment.
DiGIMS Online maintains your freedom in creating writing
assignments. Writing assignments are
not limited to the five-paragraph essay.
Assignments can be as short as one paragraph or as long as you desire the writing
to be. You can also use any writing
prompt to maintain in-depth writing assignments.
DiGIMS Online can provide a management system for differentiated
instruction that works with your existing composition and grammar materials. There is no need to purchase new materials
with DiGIMS Online. Any text, worksheet,
or website you already use will supplement DiGIMS Online. DiGIMS
Online references your class materials to provide individualized instruction.
Since you – not artificial intelligence – determine the
number of writing skills assessed, regular education students as well as special
needs students are at ease with the DiGIMS Online process.
The individualized Self-Edit reports are simple and easy to read, and the
automatic “chunking” of the DiGIMS Online process can meet modification requirements
of many special needs students. DiGIMS
Online’s individualized growth reports also provide special education case managers
with valuable data which can be included in IEP development.
DiGIMS Online is not an
artificial intelligence program that provides computer generated assessment. DiGIMS Online preserves the need for
the human element in writing assessment.
Students are able to write for an authentic audience, rather than a computer program,
and receive valuable feedback on writing content as well as conventions.
