Measured Progress © OCCRA Client Overview

Measured Progress © Web-based application installed on each workstation or the network that can be launched from the desktop icon  Needs internet to communicate with the testing server using web technologies via HTTP and HTTPS  Internet connectivity is required to download test content and submit responses for scoring  If there is no internet available when the students’ answers are submitted, the Client will store those answers (encrypted) until it is re-launched after internet connectivity is restored  Further instructions can be found in the help guides OCCRA Client Overview

Measured Progress © Periodic Data Syncs (Heartbeats)  Triggered to periodically save and protect student responses  Internet interruption during testing:  Encrypted responses saved in the location indicated during installation  Responses sent to server once internet is available  Internet interruption at the end of testing:  Student will receive a warning screen to alert their proctor the responses cannot be sent  Proctor must re-launch the Client once internet connectivity is restored to send responses OCCRA Client Failsafe Mechanism

Measured Progress © Content  Encrypted test content using RSA  Remains encrypted during transmission from web server to Client on student workstation  Downloaded and decrypted upon student login  Decrypted content is stored in memory and expires immediately after Client is exited Student Data  Uses industry standard 128-bit SSL encryption Device Security  Kiosk-mode restricts students from accessing other programs/applications during testing  iPad ® Guided Access restricts students from accessing other programs/applications during testing Test Security

Measured Progress © *Important note for Windows 8 or above: The Client is only available as a “traditional desktop app” for Windows 8 and 8.1 for use with a mouse and keyboard setup on a non-touch enabled device. Using a touch-enabled device running Windows 8 or 8.1 is NOT supported and prohibited for security reasons. **Contact SDE if you wish to use an Android device.
