Testing Accommodations in the Age of eLearning

No one knows when or how testing will resume. But one thing is for sure: preparing students to use their accommodations during testing is a marathon, not a sprint.

1. Understanding that it’s a moving target, what can you do now to start preparing?
2. What will you need in your testing accommodations toolkit?
3. How can you get students started with accommodations now so they can use them on the assessment (when the time comes)?

Join us for a snapshot look at testing accommodations in the age of eLearning. We’ll dive into:

1. The role of accommodations in high stakes testing
2. Tools (Snap&Read and Co:Writer) that feature testing accommodations
   1. Text-to-speech
   2. Word prediction
   3. Speech recognition (voice typing)
   4. Test mode (to lock disallowed features)
3. Proof of accommodation use — often a requirement that accommodations are used in instruction well ahead of the assessment (Co:Writer data provides evidence).
