Online Testing Settings

The Online tab is where test authors can establish online testing settings for the assessment and manage content clarifiers.

Test Settings

Navigate to the Online tab if students will take a test online. 

To Enable online testing, select Test Settings, and toggle on the option under Online Testing Settings.

Online Testing Proctor Controls

Select one of the following Online Testing Proctor Controls:

• Teachers
• Administrators Only

If you select Teachers, the teacher will need to click Available once students are ready to begin taking the test. The teacher will also need to click Unavailable once students are finished testing.

If you select Administrators Only, a test administrator must click Available once students are ready to take the test. The test administrator must also click Unavailable once students are finished testing.

Locate your district’s Student Login URL, which students will use to access the Student Testing Portal. We recommend that districts save this as a bookmark for students if possible. Students will log in with their local Student ID number and password.

 There are three ways a system administrator or teacher can set a student password:

• By accessing the General tab in the student’s profile;
• By importing a CSV file from the Roster tab in Management; and
• By clicking Set Default Password under Manage Schools in Management as a system administrator, which will give all students for that school the same password.

Interactive Test Settings

Test authors can toggle on the remaining interactive test settings as appropriate to accommodate students. These test settings include the following:

If you select Enable LockDown Browser, you can also select the optional Student Must Submit Test to Exit LockDown Browser setting for the test.

Content Clarifiers

Under the Online tab, click on Content Clarifiers to manage the list of content clarifiers you created for the assessment.

Before Implementing Online Testing 

Eduphoria strongly recommends that districts click Preview Online Testing on the Online tab during assessment creation before administering an online test. In addition, keep in mind the following points: 

• The preferred browser for online testing is Chrome.
• Eduphoria officially supports online testing using desktops, laptops, iPads, and Chromebooks.
• Test authors should ensure they test on the same type of computer (Mac, PC, Chromebook, etc.) with the same operating system (iOS, Windows, etc.) using the most updated browser version your students will use during online testing.
• Test authors should confirm that all images, resources, and multimedia files function correctly.
