Summative assessments are like an autopsy - they give you great data but are too late to do anything about what you find.

Formative assessments are like a well-balanced diet combined with frequent doctor visits and peer support. You constantly monitor progress and provide assistance and support strategically and efficiently.

BrainHoney is the ultimate formative assessment tool. Because it aligns everything to learning objectives and/or state standards, you can get a constant dashboard on how students in each class or the entire school are advancing. A summative assessment in this model will only serve to verify the data you already have.

BrainHoney enables standards-based formative assessment through tools that are seamless to the instructor, student and administrator. The alignment process is nearly automatic and takes place in the background as instructors manage grades, assign activities, and monitor student progress.

BrainHoney is the new alternative to the old LMS for virtual schools.

BrainHoney provides an ideal platform for anyone building a new virtual school or for existing virtual schools who need to improve teacher productivity, decrease costs, and integrate with their own or third-party technologies. Teachers and administrators alike who try this new model never look back.

The core needs of a virtual school are not a broad laundry list of LMS features that might be necessary at some point, but instead are:

1. Academic Success - how can you continuously monitor student progress and know what each of your students needs to succeed - aligned to program outcomes or state standards?
2. Productivity - through individualized student learning, administrator visibility, and teacher efficiency, how can you maximize the productivity of each of your teachers?
3. Scalability - how well can you scale from 1 student on upward from both a technology and financial perspective?
4. Adaptability - how can you ensure that your technology will incorporate emerging technologies, and not just the ones we know about today
5. Modularity - no system is an island anymore, so how well can you integrate your system with third parties?
6. Brand Loyalty - the experience with your school must be consistent, branded as your school (and not the technology provider), and positive

BrainHoney delivers the core learning services - of grading, standards alignment, objective mastery, users and groups, and content organization - in a modular and adaptable system.

BrainHoney is much more than just the core services. The user interface built on top of these core services provides orders-of-magnitude improvements in teacher productivity over LMSs. The seamless integration of standards, learning objectives, formative assessment and remediation is so simple that anyone can understand it, anyone can operate it, and anyone can build it.

And, it can be set up in minutes, not months.

Ever lose your Internet connection while taking a quiz? Or not be able to stay caught up with your learning or training since you are on the road, behind a firewall, or in cave in Afghanistan?

Or are you an IT specialist who watched your bandwidth get filled up with increased use of eLearning content? Have you been asked to implement a 1:1 laptop program and realized that your wireless network might not handle the increased traffic?

Are you an administrator worried that a proposed 1:1 laptop program will actually make the digital divide worse for those students who don't have Internet access at home?
