CBT Weekly Update Call, 6/8/18
- Today is the last day of the computer-based testing (CBT) 2018 administration!
- CBT field testing will be completed (and students will no longer be able to log in to take a CBT field test) after 5:00 pm EST this afternoon.
- We will be “shutting down” the ability to edit student and class data on Nextera Admin next week.
- We still hear reports of users trying to update Not Tested codes in Nextera Admin.
- Updating Nextera Admin at this point is not “doing anything.” The data is not being transmitted to L2.
- We believe all updates to student data will be handled via the summer cleanup going forward.
- We still hear reports of users trying to update Not Tested codes in Nextera Admin.
- We have identified a new issue with students who were transferred within Nextera Admin and the T/NT report.
- There was no required change to the student’s LocalID, so the data will not match up in L2 (Local ID to NYSSIS ID).
- We believe this issue is also affecting data display (so a student will show as Not Tested).
- Would like for a RIC colleague to investigate this and help us confirm if this is true.
- Please advise if a RIC colleague can then make this change on their end to correct the data in the T/NT reports.
- We are heading now to observe our final administration of CBT field testing.
- We’ve learned a lot from our students regarding what they like and do not like in the computer-based tests.
- The drawing tool was a great addition for our younger students—we were very pleased to see this in use.
- We are sending a survey this afternoon to our CBT Math field testing schools so that they can provide feedback about the Drawing Tool.
