Quickly impact the rollout of your testing administrations by ensuring system readiness, learner communication options, and administration configurations are addressed.
Learner Communications
- Provide Recommended Environment to learners (https://success.territorium.com/assessments-recommended-environment).
- Provide clear administration codes to learners - make sure they can either copy/paste them OR that they are clear for letters/numbers that are similar like l, 1 and I OR 0 and O.
- Provide a window for learners to create an account and install the secure browser prior to administration. See Installing the Respondus Lockdown Browser.
- Provide access instructions to learners from Success Center test-specific instructions.
- Customize instructions to learners if you want to require them to enter items such as their student ID when they create their LifeJourney accounts. This information will help you search for students in your reports and lists as an administrator.
- Display exam a test-specific poster to raise awareness and explain benefits to testers (https://success.territorium.com/territorium-exam-posters). There is even a spot for your logo!
System Checks
- Whitelist all Territorium domains for effective access and communications (https://success.territorium.com/domains-to-whitelist)
- Request the download link for the lab version of Lockdown Browser from success@territorium.com.
- Determine your lockdown browser contingency plan. Where will students test if they cannot get the lockdown browser installed on their own device?
Creating Your Administrations
- Ensure your logo and LifeJourney colors are personalized in your Configuration tool menu.
- Determine your testing cohorts and a naming convention for your administrations beginning with the year (allows for easier sorting of your list).
- Decide if you want to put a cap on the number of tests that can be used in your administration – enter that number in the “Max Tests Allowed” field – if you do not want to limit the tests, leave the number at 0.
- Make sure to set the start/end dates and TIMES (24 hour clock) and your time zone so that testers can start the exams on time.
- Turn on the option to provide scores to students if you want their score reports available on their dashboard assessment tile after they have completed and submitted their tests.
- Don’t use the Require ID configuration option unless you want learners to enter their ID number to start the test (if they enter it wrong, the test will not start).
- Configure your optional final message to include any motivation, next steps, pictures or links you want to provide to students before they click the finish button and exit the exam. You can include a URL in the top field of the optional final message to also have a link opened once the student clicks the EXIT button. Here are some examples of final messages:
