Create Customized Tests!
Musition allows you to setup an unlimited number 'tests', or customized learning tasks. As a teacher, student or parent, you define the contents of tests, and you may use any number of questions from any syllabus and any topic.
Each test's scores are recorded separately from normal practise results, so you can use tests to effectively grade students. It is possible for students to take tests multiple times, with each set of results stored separately, allowing you to compare various attempts.
Tests can also be used for real examinations. It isn't possible for students to cheat using Musition, because while all students receive questions of the same level of difficulty, each student receives a different, randomly selected batch of questions.
Musition 3 now allows you to use a single test across multiple classes!
The Professor
As you work through Musition, 'The Professor' can guide you, advising when to move up and down through the levels. 'The Professor' will also give you detailed summaries of your results as you require them.
The Professor will guide you (or your students!) through the various levels of Musition and you may customize The Professor to suit your own particular teaching style. The Professor becomes active once a student reaches certain thresholds.
For example, The Professor will only advise students to move up a level once a certain percentage of questions are answered correctly, and there is also a minimum number of questions that must be attempted before The Professor will activate.
Record Keeping
Musition will record all your results! As you work through Musition's topics, your results will all be safely recorded on your computers hard disk. You may then examine your results on screen or print them out.
Recording of results will also work across your network, giving teachers great flexibility with class placement (Multi User License or multiple copies required). Network support allows a central database to be used, reducing administration time, and allowing for easy backups. Students can also use any workstation that Musition is installed on, with the knowledge that their results will be stored in their central file safely.
The Student Edition of Musition 3.0 can only record the results of 3 separate users, and cannot be networked.
You can access your scores in a number of ways, using any of the many reports that are built into Auralia. Results are kept on a daily basis; this allows you to easily monitor your progress from day to day, week to week or month to month!
Separate results are kept for all tests. This allows you to keep a close watch on how you and/or your students are progressing.
Networking Musition
If you have more than one PC, and have purchased a Multi User License, Lab Pack or multiple single copies, we encourage you to install Auralia on your network. This will allow to you have centralized databases of all your students, classes, tests, syllabus settings and results.
All of Musition's features can be utilized over your network!. This affords you great flexibility. Imagine that you have 15 computers installed in your computer lab, and one computer in the music office. With a network installation of Musition, you can create your classes, tests and syllabus setting in the music office, and all your students will be able to access this information in the computer lab!
