My Take

This program was designed by a data genius who is organizationally incompetent. The website is one of the slowest website I've ever been on. The organization is comparable to navigating the attic of a hoarder. Finding the relevant data is an excursion into the unknown. Posting tests to students is always confusing even after 2 years of use. This is not a matter of tweaking things here and there. The whole site should be overhauled! It's horrible! I'd rather trek through a jungle with snakes than try to navigate MasteryConnect.

How I Use It

I use it exclusively for assessment. Beyond that, I try to avoid MasteryConnect as much as possible due to it's horrible interface and website organization. Almost every time I use Masteryconnect I leave fuming about all the wasted time.

Assessment tool with some positives, but lacking important features

While it does have a great library of shared assessments, that is outweighed by the MANY drawbacks. Many of the assessment questions in their bank are only superficially aligned to our state standards and are not appropriate. While the paid version does include some great things like read-aloud, it is missing other features. There is no way to monitor student progress while they are working on the assignment (ie, I can't look and see that Johnny has been on question 6 for 20 minutes). A team of teachers cannot edit the same assignment- each teach must "clone" it. There is also no way to print out assessments that include technology enhanced items, which is a problem for some special needs students.

This is a great product to use when analyzing student data student by student and by standard. It helps you see exactly where your students are in relation to mastery of standards.

I really like the visual aspect. This is a really nice way to have your students take tests online and get immediate results. They can see how they did and you can as well. You don't have to grade it individually and it automatically connects tests to standards and shows mastery, near mastery, or remediation and the corresponding colors.
