The controls for securing access to your assessment is broken down into five areas which will appear in the lower right panel when you use the link shown, as above, in the top right panel. These include:
These features combined allow you to specify who may access an assessment, from where and at what time. For example, you could restrict access to a particular computer laboratory at a particular time. With a proctor checking id's at the door, you enjoy the same level of security as a paper-based test. Test Pilot's security features represent the most comprehensive set of security features for online assessment in the industry. You may specify a list of workstations which are authorized to access your assessment. Test Pilot acomplishes this by restricting access based on the unique Internet address assigned to a computer. You may need the assistance of your technical support staff to get a list of the Internet addresses (IP addresses) of the computers to which you want your assessments restricted. The list may be a private list that belongs to one assessment alone OR it may be a shared list where multiple assessments share a common list of workstation addresses. Finally it may be a centrally managed public list that is shared by many assessments and many assessment authors. By default, each assessment has a private workstation list. Shared lists must be created at the assessment index level. Shared lists may be assigned to assessments at the assessment index management level. Public lists must be created and maintained at the administrative level. If you do not have editing permission on the workstation list, you may not make any changes. Editing Workstation Lists Once a list has been created, it will be listed with its title. Clicking on the title will begin the editing process for the list. First you may export the list by clicking on the Export button if it is offered. Only list owners may export lists. Owners may also rename the list by changing the name and clicking the Rename button. Private lists belonging to only one assessment may not be renamed.
Next, the list is shown in the following format:
The entries are defined as any of the following: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - a standard internet address specifying a single workstation xxx.xxx.xxx - an internet class C subnet address specifying up to 255 workstations xxx.xxx - an internet class B subnet address specifying roughly 65,000 workstations xxx - an internet class A network address specifying several million workstations New Address To define a new address, you'll find an empty field at the bottom of the table. Enter the address information in the field and click the New button to add a new address to the list.
Deleting Addresses To delete an address, click on the address to have it shown in the box above, then click the Delete button. Importing Addresses You may import a list of addresses from a file stored on the Test Pilot server or from a list pasted into a space provided.
Test Pilot assumes a tab or comma delimited ASCII file or list of addresses, one per line, will be provided. Yoy may either add to the existing list with the Import button or replace the existing list with the Replace button. Import from a Field If you paste the address information into the field provided, be sure to click the button to indicate that you are importing from a field and click the Import button. Import from a File If you are importing from a file, be sure to click the button to indicate that you are importing from a file. For security purposes, Test Pilot imports from files located in the web server's current directory as defined by the URL used to access the administration options. If you used http://SERVER/servlet/TestPilot4/?admin then Test Pilot uses the web server's document root directory. If you were to use the URL http://SERVER/servlet/TestPilot4/tests/joe/?admin Test Pilot will look in the joe subdirectory of the tests directory located in your web server's document root directory. Enter the name of the ASCII file in the selected directory which contains the address information and click the Import button. Help is Available! Please note that, at any time while you are editing an assessment, you can click upon the titles of the fields listed for your entries. If you do so, a pop-up window with an explanation of the items use and features will be shown. Saving your Changes - Don't Forget to Update It should be noted that on the editing panels, you will see one or more Update buttons. Whenever you adjust a setting or make changes to any item, you must click an update button to record the changes. You may make multiple changes and then click Update, but if you fail to click the update button, your changes may not be recorded. The mode popup menu allows you to adjust access to Test Pilot features and trim the detail of the automatically provided assistance for authoring.
