The
product is a web-based tool for assessing and improving the learning
disabilities of different individuals. The learning abilities are
assessed through various tests (known as TOMI), and based on test
results, different exercises (known as SmartExercises) are prescribed
for improvement in deficient areas.
The
core component of the application is a database system that allows
dynamic creation and configuration of tests based on items prepared
by Psycometricians, maintenance of user information and performance
history and maintenance of analytical and research data. The application
also has a number of tools developed to work in web mode on a variety
of platforms including Mac to allow individuals to take assessment
tests and improvement exercises. The system records and monitors
the performance on-line and produces a variety of performance reports
on the fly. The tools make extensive use of graphics, animations
and audio effects to create an entertaining work environment.
