October 10, 2004, the educational and scientific communities lost Dr. Ogden R. Lindsley, the developer of the Precision Teaching system upon which AimChart is based, and a brilliant innovator and researcher. Ogden was a student of B.F Skinner’s, and was deeply impressed by the power of Skinner’s cumulative records to reveal how behavior worked. When Ogden moved to the world of education, he developed the Standard Behavior Chart, a system for visualizing change in behavior that is practical to use in the classroom. With the Chart, learners can be helped to learn more, since learning is directly displayed. Using the Chart has made possible many discoveries about learning, much communication about effective methods, and helped many people learn. We hope that Aimchart, by adhering to Dr. Lindsley’s standards for data display, can facilitate additional discoveries, and help even more people access and further develop the powerful technology that he created. More information about this great scientist and helper can be found at: www.abainternational.org/sub/membersvcs/journals-pubs/newsletter/vol281/ogdenlindsley.asp

  v4 is now the default login
 

[2005 April 29] Version 4 (Flash) (beta) is now the default user interface. It is replacing v3 which never left beta.
[2005 May 03] Version 4 new account and forgotten password links are now the default, too.
[2005 May 24] The "old" links no longer work.

Login here to use the new v4.0 beta site.

Login here to use the experimental development site.

Login here to use the old v3 site (for now).

Go here if you just want a demonstration of the new site.

All old accounts will still work with the same passwords.
Go here to make a new account if you don't have one. That is also the place to go if you have forgotten your password.

Go here (for now) to use the old v3 "newaccount" form.

  Aimchart Version 4 (Flash) Transition
 

Aimchart v4 is going to go Beta very soon. Since the previous version has some bugs and never actually finished being beta the old site will also shortly be decommissioned.
First we'll release at least one more iteration of v4.
Then we'll replace the main front page buttons with the new site, and put the old buttons down here.
About a month later, we'll take away the old site; keeping it causes some serious limitations.
So now is the time to find out and tell us if the new site doesn't do something for you that the old site did.

If all you really want is a demo of the new site, go here

  Welcome to AimChart
 

AimChart is a web-based tool for measuring and visualizing the learning of individuals so that instruction becomes more effective and efficient—so that people can learn more of what they need more quickly. AimChart adheres to the standards of Dr. O.R. Lindsley’s proven Precision Teaching system. With this method, learners and their teachers can rapidly see changes in performance, or learning, and hence know how to proceed. Student learning, graphically displayed on the AimChart website, guides important classroom decisions regarding curricula, instruction, time allocation, and a multitude of student variables (e.g., "Did students learn the intended standards?", "Do I need to rethink this lesson?", "Do some students need to move on to the next lesson?", "Does Janice meet her learning goals more consistently when she shares her progress with the rest of the class?").

AimChart supports educators who measure student performance each day and desire a rapid, user-friendly way to collect, store, display, analyze, and share these data for decision-making related to student learning. Important stakeholders include students, teachers, administrators, and parents. Persons who have already learned Dr. Lindsley’s Precision Teaching system can easily use it and AimChart as appropriate for different situations, as AimChart adheres closely to the standards that Dr. Lindsley established.

Each AimChart user has a password to enter, archive, access, and aggregate student performance data on a 24/7 basis. "Permission levels", based on the role and appropriate data needs of various users, are assigned to protect student confidentiality. AimChart is designed to grow over time as users archive a wealth of data on learning indicators in different subject areas and use these data to evaluate and improve outcomes of interventions, teaching practices, and curriculum.

  with AimChart, learners:
 
  • can master skills and knowledge, and know if and when they are mastered.
  • can find the productivity of different conditions in terms of how rapidly s(he) learns.
  • can learn to learn.
  • are not blamed for failure to learn.

  •   With AimChart, teachers:
     
  • can know if and when skills and knowledge are mastered.
  • can measure the productivity of different methods and techniques in terms of how rapidly and well learners change.
  • can measure the productivity of different curricula in terms of how rapidly students learn.
  • can test curricula and techniques at little risk and cost, to select the best for each student.
  • can teach more effectively and efficiently; in other words, to a higher standard for more learners, in less overall time.

  •   AimChart will facilitate:
     
  • Frequent, accurate measurement
  • Frequent and immediate sharing of data with the instructional team.
  • Frequent decisions based on the data.
  • Ongoing evaluation of curricula and teaching methods.
  • Empowerment and inclusion of the learner as a member of the team.
