Design by Educators, Inc. d/b/a Quick Key


Overview

Schools want to use data to improve student performance, but few have the annual budget, enterprise-class networks, teacher training, and curriculum support needed to succeed. Quick Key makes data-driven classroom feedback fast, easy, and cost-effective by using mobile devices to create, deliver, take, and grade quizzes and tests. Teachers have graded 1.8 million quizzes and authored 83,000 questions in Quick Key.
