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.

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.

I would like to remove the terminate button for teachers and have only the admin be able to access to it.

Remove zoom limit and/or provide larger text sizes
Please make it so that administrators or students can select a larger font size and/or remove the zoom limit that is present on the iPads. I teach visually impaired students who need text to be enlarged 4.5-7x its original size, up to font size 72 and above. They are unable to be successful when reading the Growth assessment because it is not able to get to a large enough font size for them

Student Couldn't Input Incorrect Fraction Response
I had two separate students who wanted to enter a fraction as their answer, which was incorrect but what they believed to be correct. However, the text box wouldn't allow them to enter 2/6 (as an example). It seemed to only accept whole numbers. There didn't seem to button to change the format entry to a fraction or mixed number box.
Students should be able to enter the response they believe to be correct, so all entry options should be accepted.2 votes -
