faster slow down sloth
Can the slow down sloth be set up within the MAP test to appear more quickly? We recognize this is a product change but are hoping it can be seriously considered.
Our team has noticed a critical feature of MAP NWEA is not quite what it could be. There is a "slow down sloth" that appears when students take the MAP test too quickly, randomly clicking through the answers. This was a feature we were excited about when we first moved to NWEA assessments.
The sloth is a great feature but is too slow to appear and misses many students…

There should be a way to delete unused sessions all at once from a term
There should be a way to delete unused sessions easily. Once a session is not in use for at least a month it should automatically delete. This would prevent the unnecessary steps of looking up sessions and deleting them before creating new ones for a new term.
Or there should be a way to duplicate the sessions from one term to the next and delete the original ones once this is done.

Allow admin to assign proctors to test sessions that the admin creates
Currently, in order to mitigate the amount of work on the teacher's end the admin is creating the test sessions. The only way to do this without forcing teachers to sift and sort through a ton of test sessions is for the admin to login as each teacher one at a time and create the sessions for them. This is extremely time consuming and takes forever. There needs to be a way for admins to create a session within their own account, and then change the proctor on the session so that a different teacher can go in and run…

accommodations
Currently, the way accommodations are set up is by session, rather then by test or even student.
I am proposing several changes to this system:
1) Allow a student to have accommodations for certain tests associated specifically with the student so that they will automatically receive them when a test is set up for that student
2) Instead of accomodations following the SESSION, they should follow the STUDENT, the same as the test does. If a student starts a test in one session and finishes in another session it is highly likely the second proctor may forget to turn back…2 votes -
The text size is too small. The test should be reformatted to fit the size of the computer screen.

Show battery percentage in Chromebook kiosk app
Once the Chromebook kiosk app launches, there isn't a way to check the battery percentage. If a student doesn't check before they launch and their battery is low (less than 10%), we run the risk of the Chromebook unceremoniously shutting down in the middle of a test. Please display the percentage discreetly somewhere on the screen so that we can avoid this in the future.

Multiple Test Sessions
As a school testing coordinator we need to be able run multiple testing sessions. In my district we are responsible for testing all students. I have to rely on my math and reading coach to build sessions with me so that we can complete this task. We use Pearson for our SOL testing in VA and I am allowed to create over 30 sessions and I can view the student activity in each session across multiple grade levels. This would really help with efficiency and streamlining the process.

Add Embedded Calculator Accommodation
I would love an embedded calculator option for those students with IEPs who need a calculator for the entire test.

Find/design a better test!
We are on our second test. Forty questions with passages that would bore and discourage most proficient adult readers. I feel so badly for my students. Tests are taking over a week to administer. From a test admin point of view , full results take over 24 hours, students keep getting kicked off, and unable to add students from other classes even after putting in correct information.

As the testing coordinator for my school, I think having a live data dashboard that shows me which teachers are still testing, how many stud
I think you should have a live dashboard that testing coordinators can use to watch live data of what teachers are testing, how many students are done, how many are still working, what question those students are on. Our school uses a two hour testing block and I have to make calls whether to start pulling students to the library to finish prior to the end of the testing session or extend the session entirely if kids are still going. The only way I can make this call is to have teachers put sticky notes outside their door at various…

Dyslexia Friendly Font Accomodation
There are font options that promote smoother/more fluent reading for students that have dyslexia. These specific fonts help mitigate the challenges that some students experience when reading.

eye tracking
incorporate existing eye-tracking software (like Tobii) to the test. The software will track where student eyes go, how long they spent on each word of each question. This will help see if students are guessing or having trouble with certain vocabulary.

Visual Accommodations
We have a student with significant visual impairments who requires very large font and specific color contrasts. Please consider how the test questions look when enlarged 300% or so, especially when the reading passages go across the screen rather than on half the screen. When making the text that large, it becomes impossible to navigate for a visually impaired individual.

Accommodations
Hi! We have several students where we have a legal obligation to provide accommodations (IEPs) , such as paper based testing. It would be really helpful to have an accessible option available to print. This would allow all of our students access to participate in testing, and allow us to have solid data points for our students receiving services. At this time, some students are not able to engage with this format of testing.

Add Student Class Column and in the Test Session Filter
It would be helpful for a proctor managing multiple classes in one testing session to be able to identify which class the students are. Being able to accurately identify a class to suspend test, test again, and etc.

Touch Screens
On the Early Skills Screener - allow students to click an answer and then click the answer box where they want to place it. This would eliminate us having to add an external mouse to devices that we've already spent a considerable amount on.

Catch errors of retesting only if necessary
Can you add an option to ask teachers if they really want a student to test a second time? We like this option of allowing students to test again if they rush, but we want to ensure that we only test students a second time who really need it.

Test Start Date for Suspended Tests
When running a report of suspended tests, I'd like to be able to see the date a student started the test. This would help in prioritizing which tests a student should finish first before they expire.

Please add an Excel-style Freeze Panes feature so that the headings stay put when scrolling through long student lists when creating test sessions.
