iCEV Introduces Enhanced Custom Assessments Experience

A more intuitive, reliable, and instruction-aligned way for educators to create and manage CTE assessments

LUBBOCK, Texas, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — iCEV, a leading provider of Career and Technical Education (CTE) solutions, today announced an enhanced Custom Assessments experience designed to make assessment creation more intuitive, flexible, and reliable for educators. Informed directly by educator feedback, the update streamlines workflows, reduces complexity, and strengthens alignment between instruction and assessment without disrupting existing work.

The enhanced experience unifies Legacy and Beta Custom Assessments into a single, consistent workflow, creating a more predictable and scalable approach to assessment creation across CTE courses. Educators can now spend less time navigating setup decisions and more time focusing on evaluating what learners are taught and expected to master.

“This update is about confidence and clarity,” said Clayton Franklin, Chief Product Officer at iCEV. “Educators told us they wanted fewer decisions, clearer alignment to instruction, and a more dependable experience. We delivered a simpler process with the same purpose, supporting meaningful, instruction-aligned assessment.”
