<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thanks Holly! <br>
<br>
Per your message and our phone conversation, it now seems like this would <b><u>not</u></b> be an effective tool to address the problems that a number of students across the state encountered this past spring.
<br>
<br>
If a TA has to have the tool turned on BEFORE the problem arises, then the TA is essentially 'required' to turn it on for all students at the start of the session to have any chance of recovering drafts. I'm not enough of a mind-reader to know, ahead of time,
which kids will need this feature. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I'm not at all sure it is worth slowing down the system for all students.<u></u><u></u></p>

<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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span><u></u><u></u></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?

<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

<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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><u></u><u></u></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
