Assessment Tools... Scantron's ParSYSTEM 5.0

09/01/02

Scantron's ParSYSTEM 5.0 is a suite of fully automated software tools for integrated, simple and customizable testing and analysis. The suite comes with ParTEST, which allows educators to create customized tests, including multimedia tools; ParTEST Online, which lets users deploy tests to a stand-alone computer, a LAN or the Internet; and ParSCORE, which lets educators automatically generate accurate scores, and conduct analysis and comprehensive reporting.

In addition, ParSYSTEM includes a Mastery Report that shows students' test performances based on user-defined demographic data, such as gender, day part and school. The subtesting feature breaks down a test into parts to examine student performance on each subject area. The tool also immediately scores tests taken online and automatically imports the results into the ParSCORE gradebook. The question-response analysis is then reported back to ParTEST, where question-response history and validity are updated. Scantron Corp., Tustin, CA, (800) 722-6876, www.scantron.com.

California AI Watermarking Bill Supported by OpenAI

OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
