The following is being sent on behalf of the Academic Testing Center
The Computer-Based Testing Facility (CBTF), located in the Academic Testing Center in Music Building 2410, provides space for students to complete asynchronous, computer-based exams offered in Canvas or Prairie Learn (a specialized assessment application).
The CBTF is available for exams from 9-5:45 Monday-Friday. Exam slots can be scheduled for variable lengths of time, with accommodations for students who need extra time or other adjustments made for the exam. Exam security is provided by students checking their bags at the front desk, physical proctors, who monitor the rooms where exams are taken; by Respondus Lockdown Browser, which restricts internet access only to sites permitted by computer administrators; by cameras located above computer stations; and by Insight, an application that enables proctors to monitor and reset machines. The computers are separated by dividers to ensure separation of students.
CBTF testing spots are limited to the number of available machines/seats per session, so we encourage interested faculty to indicate potential interest quickly. Approval will be decided by space and availability. Instructors will work with the Academic Testing Center to coordinate exams.
Please submit this Interest Form for winter quarter.
Thank you,
