6 Measured Progress ©2014 6 OCCT Online System  Manage Users  Create classes & schedule tests  Manage and monitor testing status  View reports  Students log in with unique usernames and passwords  Students complete testing Test Administration System (OCCT Portal) Student Test Delivery System (OCCT Client)

7 Measured Progress ©2014 7 OCCT Portal Overview

8 Measured Progress ©2014 8  Accessible via your web browser at https://oklahoma.measuredprogress.org https://oklahoma.measuredprogress.org  Used by state, district, and building personnel to access the test administration and reporting components  Available February 20 – July 31  Browser Specifications  Chrome ® 29-34  Firefox ® 24-29  Safari ® 5-7  Internet Explorer ® 9-11 OCCT Portal Overview When using Internet Explorer, turn OFF compatibility mode.

9 Measured Progress ©2014 9  Already have a user account from the Winter EOI? You can continue to use it!  Did not receive yours?  Check spam folder  Contact your DTC  If you are the DTC, contact technical support  Additional user accounts can be added via the Portal  DTCs should create accounts for all building test coordinators and IT coordinators OCCT Portal Overview

10 Measured Progress ©2014 10 OCCT Portal Overview RoleResponsibilities District Test Coordinator (DTC) Manage Users Create Classes Schedule Tests Track Materials View Reports Building Test Coordinator (BTC) Manage Users Verify Student Data Create Classes Schedule Tests View Reports Assessment Technology Coordinator (ATC) (“IT Coordinator” in Portal) Download & install kiosk client, mobile apps Perform Workstation Readiness Testing Certify site is ready for testing

11 Measured Progress ©2014 11 OCCT Portal Overview RoleResponsibilities District/Building Level User (DLU/BLU) Verify Student Data Create Classes Schedule Tests View Reports **NEW** Reports Access Only (District or Building) View Reports

12 Measured Progress ©2014 12 Create a new user OCCT Portal Overview

13 Measured Progress ©2014 13 Student information  Live student data will be uploaded and available for data verification March 2  Students will be automatically assigned to classes (based on the WAVE data) so they can be scheduled for a test session  Users can add students manually to the Portal if needed and create new classes OCCT Portal Overview

15 Measured Progress ©2014 15 OCCT Portal & Client - What’s New? Portal UpdatesClient Updates Added ELL, IEP, and 504 accommodations Add graphing calculator tool to all Algebra II items **New** Accommodations: Two separate Read Aloud accommodations Turn off all Universal Tools General Masking Remove General Masking as a universal tool (only available as accommodation) Remove Scientific Calculator Accommodation for grade 8 Remove Notepad universal tool Added Not Tested Codes **Updated** Line Reader universal tool Added two options to print test tickets DTCs can view unenrolled students

16 Measured Progress ©2014 16 OCCT Client Overview

17 Measured Progress ©2014 17 Web-based application installed on each workstation or the network that can be launched from the desktop icon  Needs internet connection to communicate with the testing server using web technologies via HTTP and HTTPS  Internet connectivity is required to download test content and submit responses for scoring  If there is no internet available when the students’ answers are submitted, the Client will store those answers (encrypted) until it is re-launched after internet connectivity is restored  Further instructions can be found in the help guides on the Help & Support page OCCT Client Overview

18 Measured Progress ©2014 18 Periodic Data Syncs (Heartbeats)  Triggered to periodically save and protect student responses  Internet interruption during testing:  Encrypted responses saved in the location indicated during installation  Responses sent to server once internet is available  Internet interruption at the end of testing:  Student will receive a warning screen to alert their proctor the responses cannot be sent  Proctor must re-launch the Client once internet connectivity is restored to send responses OCCT Client Failsafe Mechanism

19 Measured Progress ©2014 19 Content  Encrypted test content using RSA  Remains encrypted during transmission from web server to Client on student workstation  Downloaded and decrypted upon student login  Decrypted content is stored in memory and expires immediately after Client is exited Student Data  Uses industry standard 128-bit SSL encryption Device Security  Kiosk-mode restricts students from accessing other programs/applications during testing  iPad ® Guided Access restricts students from accessing other programs/applications during testing Test Security

20 Measured Progress ©2014 20 * Because of security and support risks, the use of Windows XP for online testing is being discouraged by the SDE. Districts are being advised that superintendents and test coordinators must take into account that any decision to use devices running Windows XP constitutes an agreement to assume the risks of decreased software performance and increased security risks associated with use of an obsolete operating system. Any decision to use XP devices assumes risks that are beyond the responsibility or control of the SDE or the testing vendor. ** If you are interested in testing with an Android device, please contact the Oklahoma State Department of Education at (405) 521-3364 prior to testing.

Corrections to student data will be made during the corrections period.  If the student name is incorrect, do not use the label and bubble the student information on the demographic page of the answer document.  If a school receives labels for students who are no longer enrolled, adhere the label to a blank student answer document and mark the reason in box S. Students without Labels:  If a student does not have a label for any reason (e.g., label is missing, lost or damaged), bubble the student information on the student demographic page of the answer document.  If student ID labels for an entire class are missing, students may bubble their own demographic information.
