Assessment: Reporting Access Resource and Visible Student Name

Reporting Access Resource

There are five tabs within OnCourse Assessment. System Managers are able to limit visibility to these tabs by using resources within the Resource Manager. We've just added a new one, the Assessment Reporting Access resource. 

Let's say you want Mr. Smith to have access to the Reports tab but not Item Bank or the Testing Center tabs. To do this, navigate your way to the Resource Manager and find the Assessment category. Then, add Mr. Smith to the first two resources but not the last three.

His view within OnCourse Assessment will be limited to what you see below.

Student Name Visible in Assessment

When students sign in to take an assessment they are given a Test Code and a unique Student Code. Issues can arise if a student accidentally uses the incorrect Student Code. If this happens, they will be logged into a different student's account and will inadvertently take a different student's test. To help avoid this situation, we've added the student's name and ID in the upper left-hand corner of assessments. Going forward, it's best practice that students double-check to ensure that that they've logged into the correct test by checking to see that their name is at the top.
