QM Perception document store
The University supports QuestionMark Perception V4.4 as a central CAA service. QM Perception is something of a 'Swiss Army knife' in that it is very adaptable and could be used for almost any closed-question assessment application. It is supported by iSolutions for all types of assessment from small-scale low-stakes applications such as external quizzes and surveys right the way through to large-scale high-stakes assessments such as University Examinations.
The documents provided below are of two kinds:
- information specific to the way QM Perception is used at the University of Southampton which is published and maintained internally by iSolutions
- general purpose information published and maintained by the vendor (QuestionMark Computing Ltd.).
