"Otus has been an incredible tool in my educational toolbox. I use Otus to do standards checks throughout the semester. This allows both my students and me to clearly see which areas need the most support. Based on the results, I can then group students within Otus according to the standards they collectively do not understand. Otus's analytics page is an incredible way for students to see how well they did on a test and what they need to work on in the future. This data is a great resource for me when I am reflecting on entire units. Being able to see where students are struggling the most helps me reflect on the way I taught the content. The ability to have clear and concise data to indicate areas in which I can improve has helped me become a much better teacher. We did not have great testing software prior to Otus. Now we have a reliable platform that is user-friendly for the teachers & students. Grade passback has saved me so much time at the end of the school day. Being able to quickly make changes to tests that students are actively taking has been a great relief for me. From the students' end, having a student-friendly user interface has eliminated the need for additional instructional time, students know exactly where to go to access assessments." - Nick Feldman
