COOL Check: Super simple digital testing

COOL Check in a nutshell

Up until now, there was no simple exam application that is linked to schools’ Student Information Systems (SIS). The existing LockDown browser or other exam and assessment tools are often technically complex, meaning the IT department has to step in to assist.

COOL Check has changed this.

Within the protected environment of COOL Check, students can only access the resources their teacher has selected. It’s a convenient tool that can be used for lessons, dictations, tests and exams – whether they are low-stakes assessments or high-stakes admission and exit tests. 

By working with COOL Check throughout the school year, it quickly becomes a familiar (testing) environment for your students, while teachers benefit from easy, hassle-free digital assessment.

How COOL Check supports your school

COOL Check is suitable for all levels of education, from primary and secondary to vocational and higher education. Teachers are no longer dependent on IT staff to set up digital exams and students can work in a distraction-free environment they know.

The benefits

• Integration: COOL Check is linked to the student information system (SIS)
• Custom and standardised testing: Give students access to teacher-created tests as well as standardised tests by third parties. Any exam or test that is accessible with an URL is possible to use in combination with COOL Check.
• Convenient preparation: Plan tests in advance and remotely.
• Taking tests anywhere: COOL Check makes assessment less time-consuming and place-bound. Let students take tests from any classroom or even from home.
• Ease of use: Even supervisors or substitute teachers can easily set up a test using the associated PIN.
• Select resources: Easily select which tools may be used for each test, for example, a spell checker, online calculator, online dictionary, specific websites and other information sources.
• Readability: No more illegible handwriting.
• Personalisation: Set up different assignments or tests within one group. Using different versions of the same test prevents cheating and facilitates personalised education, for example to accommodate students with dyslexia.
• Improved accessibility: COOL Check offers the possibility to have texts read out loud with ‘text to speech’.
• Time management: Set the maximum time for completing the test.
• Print in one go: Print all completed tests at the touch of a button.

How it works

Setting up a secure test or exam in COOL Check takes just 10 seconds. Teachers simply choose the date, time and duration, add the test and share it with their class: Check!
