Main Administrators can now customize how third-party assessment data appears in Otus, transforming complex datasets into clear, meaningful information for your learning community. Add district-specific descriptions that explain what each assessment measures in language that aligns with your educational goals, while strategically controlling what students and families see versus what remains for internal analysis.
This targeted approach eliminates confusion and data overwhelm, helping families better understand student progress while preserving sensitive analytical information for district use. The result is a more transparent, user-friendly assessment experience that builds trust between schools and families while maintaining the data integrity administrators need for informed decision-making.
