Hedtek Ltd is currently marketing Gradient Assessment (Gradient) and its accompanying IP. Gradient is a Web-based e-assessment solution for tertiary and secondary education that is distinguished by being the world's most usable e-assessment solution. Gradient supports assessment for staff and students, from setting questions, through distribution, answering and grading, to supplying results and feedback to students. Gradient is the only e-assessment system to deeply embed the use of rubric and rubric criteria into the electronic assessment process. This provides significant advantages for students, staff and institutions. In addition, Gradient encompasses clearly defined and highly exploitable routes to new products, particularly for assessment across all institutional coursework and examinations.
