MLA is tool for creating assessments (e.g., tests and quizzes) that can be distributed to a classroom even virtually via an iPod touch, iPad, or iPhone. The results of the assessment are recorded in the same document as the assessment for easy review and analysis. We use Google Docs to host the assessments and the creator (e.g., an instructor) can even control the experience via their own device (e.g., step the audience through the assessment) which makes this ideal for polling as well.

"Creative Book Builder is a fantastic app that allows students to create books in epub format, which can then be exported to iBooks and shared with others. There are a variety of instructional uses for this app, from using it as a publishing tool for project-based learning to a summative assessment at the end of a unit.  Students can embed images, audio files, video files, and write text.  The advantage of an epub document over a PDF document is that all of the media will be preserved and available for readers to interact with when the final product is published.   Depending on how you use Creative Book Builder with students, this app can help students complete tasks that align with every level of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy.  Explore the different ways this app can be used at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy."
