What is Illuminate DnA?
Illuminate Education is an Online Achievement System built on Assessments, Data and Learning Tools, as well as Special Education Systems. The DnA module supports the cycle of Data Informed Education, helping educators create assessments, proctor online testing, and analyze results. DnA is also warehouse for State assessments such as WIDA, M-STEP, SAT, PSAT, ACT WorkKeys, and district wide assessment tools such as NWEA.
