<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><img width="480" height="360" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01D0C55B.93F11310"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">ODE has recently learned from AIR that they will need to limit this feature to retrieving responses entered
<b>during the student’s current test session</b> 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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 <b>COB</b> <b>Tuesday, July 28.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
