Assessment Authoring Recent Updates
Several improvements have been made to Assessment Authoring recently. Below is a brief description of each.
- Multiple items can now be added or removed from a test with a single action.
- The Test Generator Wizard now shows the number of items available when selecting standards to include.
- In TIDE, the Test Session Status Report now includes teacher-authored tests.
- In TIDE, when creating or viewing Test Status Requests, a new radio button makes it easy to find teacher-authored tests (similar to what was already available in Plan and Manage Testing).
More details about the these improvements can be found in the
Assessment Authoring and
TIDE user guides. Lastly, the Assessment Authoring user guide and
training modules have been updated with more information and details on sharing content.
