<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks, Catherine. There’s one important piece of clarification that we have received that I want to share with you all. AIR has clarified that, regardless of whether it is in the same session or a different
session, if a student pauses the test, they will not be able to view previous draft responses once the student logs back in.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">When we reviewed this tool back in May, it was your collective recommendation that this tool should not be on for all students automatically as it may cause confusion/distraction, but that the TA should be able
to enable the tool mid-test if the need arose. Given the recent clarification from AIR that the response history will not persist when a student logs out and logs back in (which is required for the TA to turn on a tool mid-test), how does this impact the benefit/use
of this tool? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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 border="0" width="480" height="360" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01D0C55D.92409200"><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>
