Soft Launch Approach
• The release of a product or service to a limited audience• A method for gathering data on a product or service
before making it generally available to a broader audience
• An approach that allows CASAS to release new NEDP system incrementally, initially to a limited number of sites, one competency area at a time– Clients complete new items in lieu of the old items from the
same or similar competency area– Successfully demonstrated assessment items are valid for
program completion

• Sites choosing July 2013 full launch will continue with “partial launch” phase through June 30th– Partial launch includes current soft launch area and remaining
print-based Tasks• New NEDP sites will be trained in new online system

Web-based System Features
• Multiple functionalities– Client and assessor interfaces– Feedback reports– Tracking of client progress through program
• Assessment “sessions” retain responses and feedback from initial attempt through PTA and PR
• Evaluation “pop-up” boxes will enhance efficiency– D/ND criteria with additional guidelines– Checkboxes facilitate precise feedback– Notes boxes for additional feedback and staff (sticky notes)
• Automated feedback reports– Demonstrated, Not Demonstrated, Consolidated, your ideas

Assessment Development
• Each NEDP assessment item must be analyzed for reliability and validity
• Ongoing process begins with soft launch– Soft launch “n” of 100 per item– Full validation “n” of 300 per item
• Items require tight relationship of item prompt, resources, and evaluation criteria
• Revisions are based on data and feedback– Candidate demographics and Diagnostic results– Item responses, assessor evaluation, number of attempts– Time to complete (many items start big and are pared down)
