System
Improvement
in Development
Create a
School Level Coordinator
(SLC) role
Can
be assigned by an AAC to manage schools within
a district
Permissions
will mirror the AAC permissions but will be restricted to the school(s) that are assigned to that
user
Districts
may opt not to use this role
typeSlide21
System
Improvement Possibilities
in Development (continued)
Develop
an
“Add New User”
interface
Will allow system administrators to add single users rather than requiring an import
file
System will still accept a CSV import if more than one user needs to be added and System administrators do not want to add new users one at a time.
School
Level Coordinators (SLC)– would add new teachers and students using the import or Add New User
interface
Alternate Assessment Coordinators – would add new
SLCs
, teachers, and students using the import or Add New User interface Slide22
System
Improvement Possibilities
in Development (continued)
Improve
how
requests for updates
in the system are completed, submitted, and
processed
Improve the
Assign Form
functionality
F
orce
a choice selection before moving forward
P
roviding a confirmation dialogue box that will ask teachers to verify the student name, assessment grade, course assignment and form assignment selection.Slide23
Improve the Assign Form FunctionalitySlide24
System
Improvement Possibilities
in Development (continued)
Improve
process
for submitting a test
with responses as
FINAL
Change
“End Test”
button text is to
“Submit
”
Clicking
Submit
triggers a confirmation dialogue box asking the teacher to confirm that the test is ready to be submitted and informing the teacher that they will not be able to access the test again after it is submitted Slide25
System
Improvement Possibilities
in Development (continued)
Implement
“Back”
button to allow movement back and forth between items in launched test.
Note: Evaluating
impacts on
scaffolded
items
AACs identified need for
better tracking
capabilities
within the ART to measure progress towards meeting submission requirements
. Possibilities could include:Student-based visual indicators for status details such as: No Assignments, Not Started, In Progress, CompleteCSV export with student-based status details for each assignment such as: Not Started, In Progress, CompleteSlide26
