SUBJECT:
Chromebooks as Primary Testing Devices
All school administrators are advised that Chromebook devices will once again serve as the primary devices on which RISE and Utah Aspire Plus testing will be administered, as has been the case in previous years. The reason for this is that the Chrome platform works best with both testing systems and does not require the level of time and labor to update as do hardwired computers or laptops.
If you feel strongly that a hardwired computer lab or a laptop lab should be used to administer either the RISE or Utah Aspire Plus assessments, please reach out to your school tech and Information Systems as soon as possible as the system compatibility updates will take time to implement.
