How do I manage enhanced tools and accommodations in a benchmark assessment?

Item-based benchmark assessments that display an EA icon include enhanced tools and accommodations designed to meet student needs during the assessment process. District administrators and benchmark facilitators can manage these tools and accommodations in the Assessment Manager.

Notes:

If you make changes to the tools and accommodations in an active benchmark, any students currently taking the assessment must log out and back in to see the changes.
To manage text-to-speech or dictionary tools for benchmark assessments, configure the tracker-level language and speech accommodations or configure text-to-speech or dictionaries for individual students.
Text-to-speech is not available for document-based assessments. Students who require text-to-speech for a document-based assessment should use a native OS screen reader such as VoiceOver for Mac or JAWS for Windows.
