Assessment software Novi Survey allows for the creation of assessments by providing a variety of question
types each with a large number of variations. Most question variations support scoring through the assignment
of point contributions to each of the selectable elements contained within (e.g., the possible answers
in a multiple choice question). Each question can then be included in one or more scores with the same
or different point values. When a participant takes the survey, each score will be computed based on
their answers and the point contributions defined for each score.
Each score has a maximum possible value. A percentage based on the maximum value can be computed and
adjusted based on questions with no answers. Either or both the absolute value and the percentage for
the score can be displayed to the participant and included in reports. A total score can also be defined
that is by definition the sum of all the other scores for the survey. Novi Survey supports the creation
of detailed textual interpretations for each score based on a range of values. These scores and their
textual interpretations can be shown in reports, at the completion page of the survey, or included in
an email sent to the respondent once the survey is completed.
Novi Survey assessment software can be used for creating assessments in many different areas. Teachers
use Novi Survey to create quizzes and tests for assessing the skill level of their students. Training
facilities measure the effectiveness of their courses and programs, schools and universities qualify
entry level students, human resources departments screen candidates and match them to available job
openings and enhance the performance of their current employee base. Health organizations assess the
overall health and needs of patients as well as identifying the areas of high health risk, and nursing
facilities plan care for patients with specific needs, all through the creation of targeted assessments
with Novi Survey assessment software. Among all of these uses, assessments in the areas of education
and health are especially important and relevant.
Assessment software is commonly used by educational organizations to assess students and faculty, as
well as gather information about the institutions themselves. By judiciously choosing question of the
appropriate types, it is possible to create very elaborate surveys in Novi Survey that implement different
types of assessments such as formative assessments (carried out throughout the course or the training),
summative assessments (carried out at the end of the course or training), objective assessments (a form
of questioning were a question has a single correct answer, such question types include true/false answers,
multiple choice questions, multiple-response and matching questions), subjective assessments (a form
of questioning which has more than one correct answer, such question types include open ended and essay
type questions), formal assessments (usually implies that the assessment is given a numerical score
or grade based on student performance), or informal assessments (usually occur in a more casual manner
and may include open-ended questions, rating scales, etc.).
Health assessments also known as health risk assessments are one of the most widely used tools to calculate
health risk scores which in turn are used to design health improvement programs aiming to improve the
quality of life. A survey questionnaire designed using Novi Survey assessment software can be an effective
way to create these types of health assessments. Survey questionnaires used for health assessments must
include demographic questions, lifestyle questions, medical history, physiological data, and measures
of the willingness to change behavior in order to improve one’s health, all of which are readily created
using the different types of questions supported in Novi Survey. Through the built in scoring function,
the assessment software can automatically calculate the risk scores associated with the assessment and
provide valuable customized feedback to the participants.
