Dipstick™ vs SciSpace

Research indicates that regular and frequent formative assessments accelerate learning. This is because information retrieved from memory leads to better long-term retention. Another benefit is that frequent retrieval results in better organization of knowledge. Dipstick™ is a knowledge Analysis and Visualization platform for transformational learning outcomes, using tests as a learning process. A few key aspects of this approach are listed here, along with how the Dipstick™ Application can be used for the same. (A) Formative assessments Dipstick™ uses formative assessments to evaluate a learner’s understanding of the topics at short regular intervals. (B) Knowledge levels Dipstick™ helps in understanding learners' critical thinking and metacognitive skills, showing the depth of understanding of any concept. Therefore, a learner can understand his/her knowledge level during the learning phase and focus on the areas of improvement. App Features: Learner can review the performance report by topic/concept/sub-concept depending on the granularity created by the faculty and for multiple attempts. He/she can create plans for improvements with this objective analysis. Also, the faculty and learners share the same information. (C) Faculty feedback Dipstick™ enables faculty to get an overall assessment of an individual/group. They would know at a granular level which topic, concept, sub-concept etc., learners need extra help with. With these reports, faculty can customize their lesson plans based on the relative knowledge level of the group. App Features: Faculty can use the multiple granular reports available such as Topic level, Concept level and Sub-concept level reports and that too by division or grouping. Also, statistical distribution of the scores can be reviewed for further analysis. (D) Flipped classroom Dipstick™ is very useful in institutions using the flipped classroom approach. In the flipped class, the pre-class quiz is proven to be a highly successful practice. With Dipstick™ reports of the pre-assessments, faculty can design their classroom sessions to address areas where the group needs help. App Features: Knowledge analysis of pre-tests at individual and group levels. (E) Lesson agnostic Dipstick™ applies to various lessons across university, on-the-job training, seminars, workshops etc. For example, someone conducting a training program for a few hours can use Dipstick™ to demonstrate outcomes by comparing pre- and post-assessments. Even for short talks/seminars, speakers can understand the audience profile with Dipstick™ assessments. Please note that Dipstick™ usage is lesson agnostic and use case agnostic. Please contact us at hello@eklakshya.com for knowledge analysis with the Dipstick™ platform. Note: The tests may be conducted in any LMS. We can host the tests for you or we can integrate your LMS with our platform.
