All the software and hardware you need for faster, more accurate assessments
Assessment from A to Z
The RISO Data Tools solution addresses the entire process of assessing students’ progress toward any defined level of performance.
Data Tools software provides a flexible and easy-to- manage system for creating formative and summative assessments on a standard PC. It also gives users the ability to create and continually expand a searchable database of questions that will increase the speed and efficiency with which they can construct tests.
Test questions are automatically organized into standard test format, and test sheets can be output quickly and easily on a RISO HC Series color printer at speeds up to 120 sheets per minute. The HC Series printer scans completed tests, and the Data Tools application compiles and formats results into user-defined reports instantly.
The rapid feedback delivered by the Data Tools process enables educators at all levels to identify problem areas and develop solutions quickly, resulting in improved student performance.
The solution’s speed and ease-of-use make it a great time saver for teachers. Its efficiency and flexibility enable it to support a single classroom, a school of any size, or an entire school district. And its affordability puts the Data Tools solution within reach of virtually every school system in America.
Data Tools software:
A flexible and easy-to-manage system.
RISO Data Tools is a software application that enables educators to create assessment tests quickly and easily, either for the purpose of measuring student progress or to prepare students for mandated tests.
The insight gained from Data Tools-based testing enables teachers to identify and address problem areas quickly, and it enables principals and administrators to make better judgments about curriculum, teaching methods, policies, and staff.
Test creation can be a fast point-and-click exercise. And RISO Data Tools’ reporting capabilities provide instant feedback so that knowledge or skill gaps can be addressed immediately.
At every level, Data Tools reports can be invaluable in providing insight into the effectiveness of specific learning resources and teaching methods. In the classroom, teachers can better understand the needs of individual students. And all of this actionable information can be gained without the need for any teacher to spend endless hours grading tests and compiling reports manually.

The RISO HC Series:
An unmatched combination of speed and economy.
The HC Series offers surprisingly affordable, high-speed color.Teachers can print practice tests in standard test format quickly, and educators at all levels can add the proven impact of color to classroom handouts, special announcements, reprints, flyers, mailers, newsletters, and more.
HC Series printers also function as low-cost copiers for one-off black and white or color applications, with a record for reliability far surpassing that of traditional toner-based copying equipment. Its high speed – up to 120 pages per minute – also means that a single HC Series printer can serve an entire school and perhaps even eliminate the need for additional printing equipment.
