Introduction n What s Covered In This Guide This user guide discusses the WIDA Assessment Management System (or WIDA AMS), the interface to the administrative functions of the DRC INSIGHT Online Learning System. The WIDA AMS is used by educators with the following roles: Test Coordinator, Technology Coordinator, and Test Administrator. The primary audience for this guide are WIDA AMS end users and administrators. This guide covers the portions of the WIDA AMS that these users must be familiar with in order to perform administrative functions for testing with DRC INSIGHT. The guide is divided into three parts and this part of the guide contains the following sections: Section Introduction Materials Menu Test Management Reports Menu Test Setup Menu Description Summarizes the content of the WIDA Assessment Management System (WIDA AMS) User Guide, Part 2. Describes Additional Materials Ordering, the process by which districts and schools can order materials for paper tests after the initial materials order has been placed.* Explains the status reports that WIDA AMS provides for tracking test activity in a particular district and school. Also details the various testing statistics reports produced by WIDA AMS. Overviews the functionality available from the menu options, including: downloading testing software; preparing for testing by adding students and editing their data; and setting up test sessions. * Materials Ordering is covered in the WIDA Assessment Management System (WIDA AMS) User Guide, Part 1. Page 6

Materials Menu Page 7

Materials Menu Additional Materials Use the Additional Materials option to order materials for paper tests after the initial material order is placed and the Materials Ordering option is no longer available. To see when Additional Materials Ordering is available for your state, display your state s member page on the WIDA website. Note: For information on Materials Ordering, see the WIDA Assessment Management System (WIDA AMS) User Guide, Part 1. 1. To order additional materials, select Additional Materials from the Materials menu. To place a new order, select an Administration, District, and School, and click Add Order. Note: You must select a school because materials are assigned to specific schools for test security. Important: For the grade cluster 4 5 writing domain administered online, your state chose a default response mode of keyboarding online or handwriting on paper. Extra handwriting response books will automatically be shipped to keyboarding default states. If more handwriting response books are needed, you may order them through Additional Materials. Page 8

Materials Menu Additional Materials (cont.) 2. In the order tables, enter material counts for the additional materials the school requires. When you are finished, click Submit. If necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2 to order additional materials for other schools. Note: You must select a school because materials are assigned to specific schools for test security. Page 9

Materials Menu Additional Materials (cont.) 3. To edit or delete an existing order, select an Administration and click Find Orders. In the Action column, click the View/Edit icon [ ] to display an order or the Delete icon [ ] to delete an order. You can only update orders that have a status of Submitted. If the order status is Under Review, Pending, or Completed, you must place a new order. Note: If you need to update an order after it has a status of Under Review, Pending, or Completed, please contact DRC Customer Service at WIDA@ datarecognitioncorp.com or 1 855 787 9615. Page 10

Test Management Reports Menu Page 11

Test Management Reports Menu Introduction From the Test Management Reports menu, WIDA AMS users can download status reports and reports detailing online testing statistics. For details about the status reports that are available, see Status Reports on page 13. You can use the District and School drop down menus to filter the display. Then, you can select any status report to display. Select Status Reports from the Reports menu to display the Status Reports page. Click the Open Report icon ( ) to display a report. The Description column contains a brief description of each report. For more detailed information, see Status Reports on page 13. Page 12

Test Management Reports Menu Status Reports WIDA AMS provides a number of status reports that you can use to track testing activity for a test administration in a particular district and school. DRC will automatically provide Test Coordinators with permission to access student reports. During testing, these reports are updated daily at the end of each testing day. The following table lists and describes each report. Report Daily Student Status Report Daily School Resets Report Daily Student Resets Report Daily Excessive Logins Report Description Each student who logs into a test appears on this report. The report is in Excel format and displays the test start and submit times, the test ticket status, and provides a field for a user to enter comments. (For example, a user might enter a comment that a student had to stop testing that day due to illness.) This report creates an entry each day a school exceeds five resets. Note: Once there is data for this report, the report remains throughout the testing window. This report displays information about students who have had their login reset more than five times. After five resets, the student appears on the report with the date the reset occurred. The Reset Count column displays the number of resets on the specified date. The Cumulative Count column displays the total number of resets. This report displays information about students who have logged in more than five times to the system. A login is recorded when a student logs in with the original test ticket or with a reset test ticket. Note: Only DRC Customer Service can reset a ticket. See the WIDA Assessment Management System (WIDA AMS) User Guide, Part 1. Daily State Summary of Test Times Report Weekly District Report District Report of Testing Status by School The Login field displays the number of times the student logged in for the day the report was run. The Cumulative field displays the total number of attempted logins by the student, regardless of the day. The Date field is the date on which the student reached five attempts. This report displays district-wide data for each grade and content area. The Time Span is determined by using the login time and the time when the student selected to end the test. The Count field displays the total number of tests started and ended throughout the testing window. This report displays the number of tests started and ended at a district level for each week* of testing. This report displays the number of tests started and the number of tests ended for a district and a school,** or for a grade and a domain. *The Week field represents the numerical week in the current calendar year. For example, '4' indicates the fourth week of the 52 week year. **The district and school report appears after the first student for that district and school logs in to the test. Page 13
