Online classroom testing can save time and resources as well as prepare students for online state testing. Initially, though, this task can be daunting as several steps are required before students can take the tests. Specifically, you must:

Create student login accounts Create and populate classes Create tests for classes Assign tests to classes/students Distribute student login information Coordinate the use of computer resources in your school

Getting Started:

Using Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox as the browser, go to: www.te21.com , click on “Question Item Bank Login”. A new window will appear. Log in with the username, password, and district name you were given by CASE Assessments.

*If you are using IE 8 or higher, you will need to click the compatibility button next to the refresh button on the address bar before you log in. If you don’t see this button, go to the “Tools” button on the toolbar, then click “Compatibility View” in the drop-down box.

Creating Student Login Accounts: Who can do it: District Administrators or CASE staff When it can be done: Anytime, but must be completed before classes can be created The simplest way to get this information is to have a school/district data manager pull a report from your data system.

It must include: student first name student last name student ID number grade

school name You will also need each school’s NCES ID number. This can be found at: http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/ Once this information has been gathered, the data can be uploaded by following these steps: 1. Log into the Item Bank (again, this MUST be a district administrator) and choose “Advanced” on the left

hand navigation. Click on “Student Upload.”

2. Click on “Template file” to download the template CSV for upload. a. Click on the “Help and Sample File” to see an example of how the upload file should look.

Optional information:

gender birthdate ethnicity disability status free/reduced lunch status limited English proficiency status

Page 5: Online Testing Using the Item Bank and Assessment Maker

3. Copy and paste your student data into the template file in the correct order and format. You will need to create login names and passwords for the students. The NCES (school ID) number should be formatted as a “number” not as text and not in scientific notation. a. Tip: to quickly make their login name “first.last” you can use the formula: =B2&”.”&D2

i. This should generate the login name, and you can drag the formula down the page to create all login names with that format.

ii. You can also make the login name use first initial and last name (jsmith), first initial.last name (j.smith), etc.

4. Save your file as a .csv file somewhere on your computer or memory stick.

5. In the Item Bank, click “Next” and then “Select.” Navigate to where you saved your student data file and

click “Open.”

6. Again click “Next” to see if any of your records have incorrectly formatted data. If it does, you will see the incorrect records and what the exception (error) is.

a. If you see this error, open your .csv file and check to be sure the data is in the format and columns

needed for upload. Note: you will likely need to reformat your “School ID” column into a non-scientific notation number format.

7. When your upload is clean, you will see a blank area instead of the errors in the image above. Click “Next”

again and you will be taken to the review page. Here you can “Show Correct Students” as well as see how many students have successfully ben added to your account.

8. Click “Save,” and on the next page click “Finish” to complete the process. Your student logins are immediately active. a. To download a list of the student logins, go to “Student Upload” (as you did when you began the

process) and select “Master List.” It will open a pop-up box showing the students. To export them to an Excel file, click “Active Account Export” and follow the directions.

Creating Classes Who can do it: Teachers, School Administrators, and District Administrators When it can be done: After Student Logins have been created 1. From the left-hand navigation, click on “Users,” then on “Class,” then on “New Class.”

2. Use the drop boxes ( ) to select the class’s grade (NOTE: Use “HS” for grades 9-12, all others use

the grade number), course, school name, teacher name, and period. Do not try to change the “class name” as this is auto-generated and required to remain as-is. Optional information: quarter (this is interchangeable with semester- just use 1 or 2) and course code. You may also check the days the class meets if desired.

Page 6: Online Testing Using the Item Bank and Assessment Maker

3. Click “Create” and you should see a pop-up box confirming your class creation along with the description of the class.

4. If you are ONLY creating classes, click “Done.” If you are also populating the classes with students, click “Add/Remove Students.” You can also do this on a different screen if you have multiple classes to create and would like to create them all before populating them.

5. Clicking “Done” will take you back to the class creation screen where you can continue to create classes.

Populating Classes: Who can do it: Teachers, School Administrators, and District Administrators When it can be done: After Student Logins and classes have been created 1. From the left-hand navigation, select “Users,” then “Class,” then “Find and Edit.”

2. All classes created in the district are automatically listed on the page. To filter the classes, select a grade,

course, school, and/or teacher then click “Search.”

3. When you see the class you need, click the checkbox to the left of the Class name or the “Edit Stud.” icon

( ) to add students to the class. To see a list of students already in the class, click the number in the “# Stud.” column.

4. If adding students, clicking on the add students icon will take you to a page showing all available students in the school and the students selected for that class. At the top of the page, you have the option to filter for a specific grade. High School classes: note that not all students in a class are necessarily in the same grade. If you filter for a grade and don’t see the student’s name you need, you may need to change or remove the filter.

5. To select a student, click on the student’s name in the “Available Students” column, then click the “>” button to move them into the class. To select multiple students at one time, use the ctrl + click method (hold the “ctrl” button down while clicking on student names). For Mac computers, hold the “command” button while selecting multiple names.

6. When finished adding students, click “Save” and you should see a confirmation box listing the class name, teacher, school, subject, and number of students. If this is correct, click “Done.” If more students need to be added or removed, click “Add More Students.” Clicking “Done” will take you back to the class search screen where you can find the next class to which you need to add students.

Creating an Assessment (traditional method): Who can do it: Teachers, School Administrators, and District Administrators When it can be done: Any time (no pre-requisites)

1. Click Create Assessment in the center of the screen, or “Create Test” on the left side of your screen.

a. Select the grade and course for which you are making an assessment (top left of the screen). NC TEACHERS: you may choose NC to use the 2011-2012 standards or CC to use the Common Core standards.

b. Name your assessment something that tells you what it is. An example might be “3rd Period Unit 2 Quiz.” You can also leave the name as it has been generated.

c. Choose the type of assessment you are creating (right side of the screen). TEACHERS: you will be able to access any tests you or your administrators create. Choosing a “benchmark” type test will

ensure that (if you are doing online testing) students cannot access the test until the assigned testing window opens. SCHOOL/DISTRICT ADMIN: Teachers will be able to view any test created in your account unless it is designated as a benchmark. Benchmarks, however, remain secure.

d. The optional description section allows you to add information about the assessment. For example, you might note that it contains fractions, decimals, and ordinal numbers.

e. Click “Find Items to Add” to begin selecting items.

Selecting Items:

2. In the “objective” box, check the boxes of all objectives you would like to assess.

3. Click “Search” to find the questions available for those objectives. You will see these headers:

a. The “Total Items Found” will tell you how many questions are available for you to select based

on the objectives you have selected. b. The “Page Size” defaults to 10 items visible at a time. If you would like to change that number,

click the arrow in the box and then the number you prefer. c. To view a question, click on the blue number in the “Item ID” column. It will pop up a box showing

you the question. ELA TESTS: if the question references a passage, the passage will become visible in that pop-up box as well.

4. You may sort the items by clicking the column header labeled Objective, Passage Number (PSG#), Thinking Skill (Skill or DOK), or Difficulty (Diff.). These features help you balance your assessment and ensure you are assessing the skills you have taught at an appropriate difficulty level. ELA TESTS: It is recommended that you sort by PSG# to make sure that you are able to choose all items from a passage.

5. To add questions to the assessment, you have two options.

a. To select one item at a time: click the green “+” button b. To select multiple items at a time: click the check boxes and then click the “Add all selected

items to the test” button at the top of that column.

6. Once an item has been added to the assessment, the check box disappears and the “ ” becomes a . This prevents an item from being added twice.

Page 8: Online Testing Using the Item Bank and Assessment Maker

7

7. When added to your test, questions will show up at the bottom of the page under the “Items on Test” heading. To remove items from the assessment, click the red “-“ button.

a. To rearrange questions on your test, click on the question, then hold the mouse button down and

move the question to another location on the assessment (click and drag method). The test will automatically be re-numbered.

Balancing the Test:

8. To see the difficulty, thinking skills/DOK, and goal distribution on your test, click “Test Statistics” in the “Items on Test” heading:

A typical goal for difficulty is approximately 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Level of difficulty is the average of the difficulty of the items. This is based on a 4 point scale: 1 = Easy, 2 = Medium, 3 = Hard, and 4 = Advanced. Having an average of 2.5 indicates that the test contains a balanced number of easy and hard questions. This ensures the test is appropriate for a broad range of students. However, you can choose to make the test easier or harder based on the needs of your students. It is also recommended that your assessment be at least 60% higher level thinking skills (Med/High category).

You may go back to the “Find Items to Add” section of the page and filter for specific thinking skills and/or difficulty (using the drop-down boxes next to those fields at the top of the “find” section), then click “Search” again to find items that will change your test statistics as needed. Note that the difficulty level of the questions can be found in the far right column of the list and are listed as “E,” “M,” “H,” and “A.”

The statistics also suggest a proficiency scale to use for grading. This is a clickable link that will bring up a scale showing what the letter grades should be, based on the number of items correct:

This is only a suggestion, but is statistically based on the difficulty of the assessment and typical grading scales. Usually state tests do this by determining at what level students are considered “proficient.” For example, if the test has a difficulty of approximately 2.5, the proficiency mark may be 55%, meaning that if a student gets at least 55% of the items correct he/she will receive the lowest passing score. The range of grades is then distributed up to “A” with more correct answers. Because each district chooses their lowest passing score, three scales are provided. A proficiency scale is provided when the difficulty is between 2.3 and 2.8. Above or below that range, the scales are too difficult to predict.

9. Once satisfied with the content and balance of your test, you may preview the PDF of the test or save the

test for viewing later. MAKE SURE you click “Save Test” before leaving the Item Bank or trying to

find/make another assessment. You may save at any time during test creation and you will be given the option to continue working or finish. When you click “I am finished” after saving, you will be taken to the “Find and Edit” section of the Item Bank where you can also print the test.

Creating an Assessment (quick test method): The quick test feature allows you to quickly make a test by selecting the difficulty, objectives, and number of items you need on the assessment for the computer to select the items. You can then adjust and modify as needed, and even exclude items you or your administrators have previously used on tests. To use this feature, select “Quick Test” under the “Make a Test” heading on the left-hand navigation when you log into your account. 1. Complete the “Test name” section of the page by choosing the grade and course of the assessment you

wish to make, then naming the test (you may still leave it as the auto-generated name), choosing the type of test, and adding an optional description. You may also add directions for taking the test by clicking the “+” button to the right of the description box.

2. Click on the “Quick item add” bar: to open that section of the page.

3. Choose the average difficulty level you would like for the assessment. Remember, the scale is 1-4 with 1 being easy and 4 being advanced. CASE recommends a 2.5 difficulty as the target to ensure the assessment is balanced.

4. IF YOU ARE CREATING AN ELA TEST : the system will default to “Passage” for selecting items by passage instead of by objective. This will enable you to maximize the usage of the passages you select and minimize the number of passages your students will be required to read. Make sure you choose the “Genre” of the passages you’d like to see. If you prefer to select items by objective even on an ELA test, simply click on “Objective” to switch the view.

5. To exclude items that have previously been used on tests, click on the hyperlinked “Exclude Items” button to the right of the Genre box. This will open a dialogue box showing the tests you’ve previously created and options to exclude items by category. You can exclude items used on all of your previous tests, from specific tests, from all school administrator tests (if your school provides common assessments) and/or from all district tests (if your district provides common assessments).

6. Find the specific objectives you want to assess and enter the number of items needed for each objective. The total number of items available for you to choose from (filtered for any that you’ve excluded) is listed at the top of the objective table under “Items.” The number of items you’ve selected on your test will be listed at the top of the “On test” column. The number of questions available for each objective is listed in that column across from each listed objective.

a. Example: if I want to assess objectives 2.01, 3.04, and 5.02 and I want 30 questions on the test, I could enter “10” next to each of those objectives in the list to ensure I assess each one equally. If I need to emphasize 2.01, I could enter “20” next to 2.01, then “5” next to 3.05 and 5.02 to make up the 30 items.

7. Click “Quick Search” to find the questions, and a box will open showing the items selected. To review a

question, click on the Item ID number. Another box will appear showing the question and any graphics. Make sure you review the Target and Actual difficulty as they could be different:

8. If you’d like to find other questions, click “Search again.” For example, you may want to search again if the

actual difficulty is too low or if you don’t like the questions it found. If you are happy with the selections, click “Add Items to Test.” The system will create your test and show the list of questions in the “Items on Test” section of the page. Again, to review a question click the Item ID.

9. The items are initially laid out on the test by objective. If you would like to distribute them, use the drag

and drop method to move them. Click on an item (anywhere on the row is fine) and hold the button down, then drag the question where you’d like it to be. Once you let go of the button it will be dropped into the test and renumbered accordingly.

10. If you decide to remove a question from the test, click the button. If you would like to add more questions, you can choose to add them from “Quick Item Add” (quick test method) or “Find Items to Add” (traditional method).

11. Once you are happy with the test content, difficulty, and layout, you can preview the PDF or online view or

just save the test. The preview buttons are hyperlinks at the bottom of the page next to “Save Test.”

12. Like the traditional method, once you click “Save Test” you will have the option to continue working or to finish. Finishing will take you back to the “Find and Edit” section of the Item Bank where you can also print the test. You may save at any time.

Assigning Tests: Who can do it: Teachers, School Administrators, and District Administrators When it can be done: After classes and assessments have been created 1. On the left-hand navigation, select “Make a Test” then “Find and Edit.”

2. Select the grade, course, and/or name of the test you need to assign. To see all tests available to you,

leave all fields at “All” and click “Search.”

3. Click the checkbox to the left of the name of the test you want to assign. From the tool bar above the

column names click .

Page 11: Online Testing Using the Item Bank and Assessment Maker

10

4. In the “Search Criteria” section, select “Class” and then use the drop-down box to choose your school:

NOTE: If you need to assign the test to one or two students (not a whole class), you can select “Student” in the “Assign to” field. A list of all available students will appear. Follow the directions below to complete the assignment (using student names instead of classes).

5. In the “Search Results” section, click on the class to which you want the test assigned. If you don’t see

your class, make sure that there are not multiple pages available. The under the list will tell you how many pages of classes have been created. You can also change the page size to view more classes at a time.

6. Click “Assign” once you’ve found and highlighted your class. A pop-up box will appear asking you to schedule the test. Choose the start and end dates for the test, then click “Assign.” The window should be slightly longer than you think you will need to accommodate student needs. Depending on the length and weight of the test, one to two weeks is appropriate.

7. Review the assignment in the “Current Assignment(s)” section of the page. From here you can edit or delete the assignment as well.

Other School-based Logistics to consider

Distributing Student Login Information and instructions While this is a school-based process, it is also a critical part of online testing. If students are not prepared to use the system, testing may be delayed and results can be compromised. Some best practices CASE recommends include:

Provide all teachers with a spreadsheet containing a class list of student login names and passwords for reference purposes

Provide a 1 page set of directions to students on the day of testing (see appendix A) Print each student’s name, login name, and password on a small slip of paper or pre-fill the information

on the instructions (see appendix A) to be handed out to students Project the student directions on a screen for all students to see during testing Before the testing window opens, provide training for teachers on how students will access the site

Coordinating Computer Usage/Access Unless your school has a one-to-one computer ratio, you will need to coordinate the use of computers for your testing needs. Problems often arise when access is limited and more than one teacher plans to do online testing in a given day, or when other teachers are using the computers for classroom projects. Some tips to ensure a smooth testing experience include:

Reserve computers or computer labs well in advance of your proposed testing dates Reserve the computers/lab for at least one extra day in case you have students who need to make up

tests or need extra time Collaborate with other members of your team or department to ensure testing dates do not conflict If multiple labs or large computer labs are available at your school, consider having several classes test

at the same time IF your Internet connectivity can handle the load. This may simplify your Technology specialist’s job if you are all in one area and doing the same thing. It may also avoid multiple classes using the labs for different purposes and possibly disrupting the testing environment.

Working with Technology It is common knowledge that technology often follows Murphy’s Law. While that can’t always be avoided, here are some things that help minimize the impact when everything goes wrong.

Provide all teachers a copy of the troubleshooting guide (see appendix B) Coordinate with your Technology specialist to ensure your school has enough bandwidth to handle all

students accessing the Item Bank at the same time Encourage teachers to log in as at least a few of their students before the testing begins. This can

mitigate any last-minute login issues that may occur. The day of testing, make sure all computers are turned on and pointed to the TE21 homepage

(www.te21.com ) When class is over, ensure that all students have logged out of their tests to avoid others accessing

and possibly manipulating the responses If possible, have the technology specialist nearby (or at least a phone call away) while testing is in

process in case an issue arises

Page 13: Online Testing Using the Item Bank and Assessment Maker

After testing has concluded: Once the testing window has closed, there are several options for retrieving the results and viewing analytical reports. Also note that student responses are never removed from the system. Once tests have student data attached to them they cannot be deleted until the student data has been removed.

Retrieving student results and reports Who can do it: teachers, school administrators, and district administrators When it can be done: any time after testing ends

Reports are available for students, classes, schools, and the district as a whole. Administrators can also check login activity by user, test creation, and testing activity The full list of reports can be found on the left-hand navigation pane under “reports.” Each section

opens a list of options for that type of analysis. Click on the specific report you need, then enter the appropriate information from the drop boxes and

radio buttons (subject, course, test name, school, class, student name, etc.) For a full description of all reports, refer to Appendix C

Removing classes/students/responses/assessments from the system Who can do it: school administrators, district administrators When it can be done: after test window is closed; not recommended until the end of the school year to ensure longitudinal reporting is accurate

Teachers can remove or modify classes and tests they have created but not students or responses To remove a student, go to “users” and “students.” Find the student to be deleted, click on the record,

and click “delete” on the toolbar above the list. Deleting students also deletes all responses for that student and removes them from all assigned classes.

To remove a class, go to “users” and “classes.” Find the class to be deleted, click on the record, and click “delete” on the toolbar above the list.

If a test has been taken by a student already (online), it cannot be deleted until the responses are removed.

Troubleshooting Online Testing in the CASE Item Bank

Make Sure You/Students Do This: Make Sure You/Students

DON’T Do This:

Click the compatibility button so it looks like this:

DO NOT type “case21 regular” into the district field! This will not allow the computer to connect to the online system.

Type “case” and wait for the drop list to populate. CLICK on “Case21regular, Raleigh, NC”

Cross check the user name and password from the most recent list of logins given to your school.

DO NOT continue to try to log in without checking your compatibility. You may eventually be able to log in, but you will encounter other issues (like saving your answers!)

Use Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari as your browser. The preferred browser is IE, but all are compatible with the system.

Do NOT use Google Chrome. It is not compatible with the Item Bank operating system.

If none of these things work, you can call Kathy Pitney at 919-226-0365 or email [email protected].
