How It Works

Benchmark Now! is powered by Naiku’s cloud-based assessment engine, allowing students to use any web enabled device – such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones – with the benefits of automatic scoring and immediate, standards aligned reporting for the teacher.  Naiku works with most every OS and browser including Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS and IE, Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

 

Students see and answer each question with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface on their device.  Benchmark Now! automatically recognizes small screen devices such as smartphones and generates an optimized UI. With autoscoring, teachers can watch progress in real-time and have access to immediate student and class performance reports from any web enabled device.
