Graded Labs now offers, through their partnership with Internetwork Expert, a completely automated, dynamic and taliored Assessment Lab.  This lab gives students the ability to see where they currently are in their training.  It also provides a nice CSS/Javascript report where they can drill down and match correct assertions with their own insertions.  It was a real treat to work on this project and I hope that it really helps the students enhance their studies and their confidence before they take the actual Cisco exam.

The widget is completely free.

If you want to see the widget, check out Graded Labs.  Also there are some screenshots posted below.   If anyone has any questions just leave a comment.
