From Cari.White at state.or.us Mon Jan 26 08:41:16 2009 From: Cari.White at state.or.us (WHITE Cari) Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 08:41:16 -0800 Subject: [OAKS Online] UPDATE: OAKS Online Message-ID: American Institutes for Research (AIR) has fixed the error in OAKS Online that prevented students from logging in. The issue was related to a database setting that was changed when OAKS Online was placed onto new servers. AIR expanded their simulations to include Test Administration, Session Creation, Student Login as well as students taking tests. No problems were detected and OAKS Online appears to be fully functional. The system is therefore now available and districts that have volunteered to begin testing on Monday, January 26 are be able to do so. ODE will provide an update to District Test Coordinators by 2:00 PM as to whether any problems were detected or reported. Please contact your regional ESD partners if you encounter any problems. Thank you for your patience.

At 8:41 this morning, ODE notified school districts that American Institutes for Research (AIR) had fixed the error in OAKS Online that had prevented students from logging in. Since that time, school districts that have volunteered to begin testing today have successfully been able to log students into OAKS Online and complete testing. As of 2:00 p.m., approximately 2,400 students have logged in, and participating school districts have not reported any problems. Based on the successful completion of testing in those school districts who volunteered to test today, OAKS Online testing can now officially resume as of 2:00 p.m. today, Monday, January 26th. Please contact your regional ESD partners if you have any questions or concerns. Once again, ODE and AIR apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

The OAKS Online Portal, however, is temporarily unavailable. Test sessions that are already in progress should not be impacted, nor should access to the student interface. Test administrators can still access the TA Interface by going directly to the following link: https://oaks.tds.airast.org/testadmin/. The Portal error should not impact test sessions that are already in progress or student access to the student interface. ODE is working with our DSN administrator of the OAKS Online Portal to resolve the error as quickly as possible. ODE will send notification to the District Test Coordinator and OAKS Online listservs as soon as the error is successfully resolved. Until the Portal error is resolved, UMS and OAKS Online reports will not be available. ODE apologizes for the inconvenience and thanks you for your patience.
