The use of elaastic is part of the B4MATIVE! research project. In order to use elaastic, you must read and accept the terms of use described below.

Objectives of the research project

Several researchers from the Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT) have been working since 2011 to set up the "elaastic" platform that allows teachers to orchestrate sequences of formative assessments during face-to-face or distance learning. In the context of the B4MATIVE research project funded by the Direction du Numérique pour l'Éducation (french government), we make available to teachers and students of the academy Nancy-Metz (project partner), and more generally to any teacher of universities, our web platform "elaastic" to collect and analyze traces from user interactions with elaastic. This collection and the associated analysis are aimed at:

• a better understanding and a better characterization of what is a "good" formative evaluation sequence orchestrated by a digital platform;
• the proposal of guidelines for the design of digital platforms dedicated to the orchestration of sequence of formative evaluations.
