[Assessment_Advisory_Committee] assessment advisory: input on time machine tool requested by 7/28

Holly,
Given the technical problems we encountered around this issue, I think that being able to recover drafts in the current session is better than not having the ability at all.

Subject: [Assessment_Advisory_Committee] assessment advisory: input on time machine tool requested by 7/28
Importance: High

At our May 6 meeting, AIR reviewed with us a new "Item Response Time Machine" tool that would be available in 2015-16. The slide below summarizes this proposed tool as AIR described it to us at the meeting:

ODE has recently learned from AIR that they will need to limit this feature to retrieving responses entered during the student's current test session as allowing students to go back and retrieve responses from an earlier test session uses too many system resources and risks slowing down the testing experience for all students.

Given this change in scope, ODE now requests your input whether there is still value in implementing the Item Response Time Machine for 2015-16. So that we can finalize our specifications and prepare communications to the field about supported tools, we request your input by COB Tuesday, July 28.

Thank you as always for your valuable feedback!
