ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

We have used a system called e-Instruction at the museum for pre and post
assessments with professional developments and after school programming with
students.  The system was created for in class use, but can be adapted to
our work in museums.  The e-Instruction software allows you to look at your
data in a variety of report formats.

I have found that this system suits the needs that we have for it.  I hope
it helps!
