Message from the President

Making assessment an integral part of learning in this “new normal” is a challenge — a challenge that we, in Excelandia, have accepted. We believe that assessment is a starting point of the students’ learning journey where they can arrive at a given learning point and time with desired results in terms of academic performance. As part of the learning journey, assessment develops and supports students toward attaining their destination of academic progress. In this journey, it is essential that we, along with parents, teachers, and school administrators, collaborate and work together with a common goal of bringing students towards their destination of academic progress. As part of our commitment to students, we now provide an online assessment program to let them attain their goal of academic progress during these unprecedented times. We launched an online exam that runs on a dedicated and secure web server with powerful software and built-in technologies. On top of this, we have fully equipped people to manage and monitor the online assessment tool. With this new and powerful tool, we assure a safer, more convenient, and more efficient learning journey by letting students attain their goal of academic progress. Ahead of us lies a challenging task. Thus, you must also be informed and well- prepared to make the online exam possible. This is not just to maximize the technology, but to make it a distinct and meaningful experience. We have prepared all the necessary materials (user guide, tutorial videos, and web pages) that will take you through to the general guidelines, procedures, and steps in taking the online exam. Use these fully to prepare well for the upcoming online assessment. From here on, these are shared with you. ARNEL A. BONDOC President, Excelandia IT Services
