9. 9 MAP Roles & Responsibilities

10. 10 MAP Roles & Responsibilities

11. What’s New to MAP? Students now have 28 calendar days to finish a suspended test – It is no longer possible to resume tests that have been suspended for more than 28 days (students will not have access to complete their tests) – 14 days is still the recommended maximum between testing, because too many days of instruction between testing have the potential to influence the score When preparing for make-up testing, you can now see the [Test Event Start Date] – The testing date appears in the search results – You can prioritize make-up testing for students nearing the time limit Students have an improved calculator – The onscreen calculator now has a backspace key and a +/- button (http://warmup.nwea.org/calc/app/index.html#/calculator)http://warmup.nwea.org/calc/app/index.html#/calculator Students can reset a question – A new [Reset] button at the bottom of the test enables students to reload the question – Reset is useful when a student wants to clear the choices made and start over Students can attempt resume after a connection problem – In the event of an internet failure or other technical issue, a new message appears on the student’s computer with a button to try and resume testing – If successful, and the student was in the middle of a question, then the same question should resume – Or, if the student had just finished a question, then the next question should appear 11

12. MAP Helpful Hints All teachers that have students rostered to them have been uploaded into MAP as ‘Instructors’ – Teachers must login to their accounts in order to view reports – Teachers will be able to pull their class reports in MAP You can only assign one test per student at a time – Students can take more than one test per testing session as long as the first test has been completed Proctors can only login to one testing session at a time Write Testing Session Name and Password on the board for all students to see – Students do not need to know the progress of their peers projected on the screen. Deleting testing sessions does not delete student results – Testing sessions control the testing and does not store/hold test responses Students can only take one test per subject per assigned testing window – Only one opportunity to make a score – DO NOT TERMINATE STUDENTS’ TESTS – R&E will make the final decision if a student can retake a test Shortcuts to refresh student screens – iPad/Chromebook: Post the “NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES” Sign 12
