The AssessLinkPE app is very flexible and adaptable for nearly all areas of research with its automatic detection of the different phases of movement, or, temporal phasing.  Once the user hits record, the x, y, z, location of 32 joints is stored in the subject’s unique video file. This joint information is then used to automatically estimate the temporal phases of the specific skill being assessed.  Even if at a later date, the researcher decides to change the scoring algorithm of a specific motor skill, the data of the subjects original capture is still stored and available for review.  

The first edition of the AssessLinkPE test of fundamental motor skills utilizes an un-weighted approach which gives equal value to all variables observed. We realize that this is not the ideal solution for everyone, which is why we are now offering two additional solutions for customers.

We would like to offer potential customers additional options for customizing their assessment solutions with AssessLinkPE’s technology.

option 1: scoring filter

With the scoring filter tool, we will work with customers to develop a set of criterion for a more simplified rubric. For example on the site ThePhysicalEducator.com, Joey Feith has his “Keys to Success” for an overhand throw. We can take Mike’s rubric for overhand throw and create a simple copy and paste tool that automatically takes the original AssessLinkPE score and converts it into a printable and exportable spreadsheet meeting Mike’s “Keys to Success.” Contact us today about creating a custom solution for your school or program.

Option 2: Custom Software

Another option for schools and researchers is to work with the AssessLink team to create a custom assessment for your exact needs. This custom assessment can either be a small adjustment to our scoring so that the exportable data meets your district’s existed rubrics. Or, we can create entirely new assessments for your program that look at different motor skills and movements. Costs of a custom scoring conversion will be significantly less than the cost of a custom skill assessment, but please contact us for details. Review the exemplars of a custom solution below:

Scenario 1:

A large school district has spent thousands of dollars on curriculum alignment which includes custom rubrics for motor skills.  The lead administrator wants to objectively measure learning and teacher effectiveness.  

Cost to Convert Scoring

To convert AssessLinkPE so that your score reporting is on a 1-2-3-4-5 point scale would cost about $1,000/skill, or $8,000.  You would then be the exclusive owner of your custom score, and your software would function like the AssessLinkPE program except the reported score would be more simple.  You would have your own custom desktop application to meet your needs.
