Manually Recording Student Responses

This article will review the process for manually entering response on the students behalf by the teacher.

Some students will not be able to take a test online and instead will use a test booklet to record their responses.  This means a teacher/proctor will need to transcribe the student's responses online in order for the answers to be scored and results to be included in assessment reports.  This article will guide you through the process of manually adding a student's test responses into their online test via the Live Proctoring Dashboard.

To access the Live Proctoring Dashboard, start from within an assessment that has an administration created. From the landing page, click the View Assessments tile.

Once you get to the main assessment page, you will be presented with a list of assessments you are able to use. Go through the following steps to get to an assessment's details:

1. Use the filter options on the left hand side of the page.
2. Click on the Search button to filer down the assessment results.
3. Identify your assessment, and click on the assessment title.

Once you click on the assessment title, you will be presented with a number of titles that represent different sections you have access to within an assessment. To access the assessment administrations, click on the Administrations tile.

When viewing the list of administrations for an assessment, click on the number of students who are rostered for that administration. Clicking on the number of students will take you to the live proctoring view for that administration.

Once on the live proctoring page, click on the Add Participant button. There are two ways to manually add students to an administration:

1. Add by Student: This method will allow a teacher to search for a student(s) to add to the administration.
2. Add by Class: This method will allow a teacher to search for a class and add all the enrolled students to the administration.

When using the Add by Student option, a pop-up will appears that will allow you to find students to manually add to an administration:

1. Use the search box to narrow down the list of students.
2. Select the student(s) who need responses manually entered.
3. Click the Select button. 

Once the student(s) has been added to the administration, click on the cogwheel next to their name. Once the action menu appears, click the Enter Answers option. Once clicked, the test will open in a new tab within the window. The teacher can now manually enter the student's responses within the testing experience. Once all responses are entered and the test has been submitted on behalf of the student, the tab can be closed. All student data will now be included in the Live Proctoring Dashboard as well as all assessment reports.

One thing to note, once a teacher manually enters answers for a student, a pencil icon will appear next to the students name. This is an indicator that answers have been manually entered for the student.
