online help was published November 23rd, 2020. It contains:
An explanation of warning messages
added to the creation of CogAT
Post-screener, Screening, and Complete test assignments.
Instructions for configuring and delivering
tests through the new DataManager remote
proctoring portal (DMRPP). This new remote delivery
allows students to test remotely from their homes while
DataManager Proctors
carry out the assessment procedure, helping students sign
in, monitoring the students as they test, and providing
help through the Chat feature.
More recently:
Special
instructions for combining online testing with paper-and-pencil
testing for classrooms and districts that test using
both modes.

Assessments, two new estimated growth reports
to predict performance after the Covid-19 school closures

Assessments section of the online help—the new student
report on its own line and the group report under
the Group Profile
reports heading.

printing individual barcode labels for a small
number of students taking a student override version
of an OMR-administered test.
An introduction to the new CogAT
Dashboard, a dynamic reporting tool that allows
you to establish cut scores and analyze test results
along subject domains and composites. National and
local stanines are woven into other commonly used
scores such as National Percentile Rank (NPR).
Recent updates to the online help are
keeping apace with new dashboard developments and improvements
to existing workflows and features:
A reminder: online help has combined
an earlier multi-role division into one complete, comprehensive
version of the online help—all
topics, instructions, and roles in one place—for ease-of-use and
better overall performance. |
