The Student Testing Site includes an embedded American Sign Language (ASL) tool that is available to students with the appropriate accommodation. Instructions for using this tool are provided in the Test Delivery System (TDS) User Guide.
If a student requires in-person signing from a test administrator, that test administrator can connect a second laptop or monitor to the student’s device to mirror the student’s screen. As the student progresses through the test, the test administrator can see the assessment content on their own screen and provide sign language interpretation as needed.
Screen mirroring should be set up before the student begins testing. In order to mirror the student’s screen on the test administrator’s device, each device must include a video port. When mirroring displays, be sure to select the option to “mirror” or “duplicate” the student’s display rather than selecting the “extended” display option, which would not duplicate the screen and may cause issues with the secure browser application.
The instructions in this section are for using an HDMI cable to connect the two devices. However, supported video ports vary by device, and different cable types or adapters may be needed. Please consult the IT personnel at your campus to determine which cables and adapters are appropriate for the devices in use.
Please note: For older machines that require an SVGA cable, please consult your IT personnel for assistance setting up mirroring.
