Drowning in a Lake of Registration Paperwork? One Testing Center’s Solution Presenters: Tabatha Spain Phillips, Testing Coordinator Lisa Epley, Testing Specialist
About Us The DL Testing Center opened in 2005 to provide proctored testing services to Distance Learning students. The DL South Campus Testing Center opened in January 2010. Makeup exams and Distance Learning course exams are administered at this location.
About the DL-Res System In-house designed system Designed specifically for course exams. Other types of exams may be added, but registrations cannot be done online.
About the DL-Res System Cont. Works best in Mozilla Firefox Authentication Required. Reservations can be made on 30 min increments
Benefits of the DL-RES System Fewer registrations via telephone Automated e-mail confirmations Ease of operation and training
Benefits of the DL-RES Cont. Visible from multiple locations via the internet In-house system—allows us to work directly with the creator to make changes to the system Versatility in creating hours of operation
Limitations of the DL-RES System Administrative side—there is an inability to see open seating without checking availability first. Pertinent changes happen quickly. Other changes may required extended time due to only having one technician for the system.
Benefits of the C/C System Quick and convenient accessibility to the daily testing schedule One click check in/out process Seat number application allows us to quickly reference the location of a student on our surveillance cameras especially during a cheating incident
Limitations of the C/C System No built-in warning system for a student’s time limit. Occasional glitch in system when a student worker refreshes the page and the check-in’s disappear, but are still available in the DL-Res System.
How have these systems improved our staff’s productivity? More time available for other projects Less time spent on manually inputting arrival and departure times The DL-RES system connects to Infoview for ease of generating various data reports. (I.E. Usage Report and Exam Log Summaries)
How have these systems improved our services? Distance Learning students have the ability to register for an exam anywhere and anytime with an internet connection. The check-in/check out procedures are quicker and more efficient.
