Question 1

What role does the 'linkage level' system play in DLM technology-delivered testlets?

Accepted Answer

It determines which level of complexity a testlet targets based on student skill data

Answer

Linkage levels represent the range of complexity within an Essential Element, and the system uses student data to assign testlets at the appropriate level.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes 'computer adaptive' testing as used in the DLM system?

Accepted Answer

The system adjusts which testlets a student receives based on prior performance and survey data

Answer

DLM uses an adaptive model where the First Contact Survey and performance data inform which testlets are delivered, targeting each student's instructional zone.

Question 3

What is the purpose of 'instructional testlets' in the DLM system, as opposed to assessment testlets?

Accepted Answer

They are used for teaching and practice rather than official scoring

Answer

Instructional testlets are designed for classroom learning and practice; they do not count toward a student's official DLM score.

Question 4

When a student's DLM Educator Portal profile indicates 'switch access' as the response mode, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

The student responds using a switch device rather than a keyboard or mouse

Answer

Switch access is an assistive technology response mode where students use one or two switches to interact with the test, supporting those with limited motor control.

Question 5

What does the DLM Educator Portal's 'manage students' feature allow teachers to do?

Accepted Answer

Add, edit, and view student profiles including demographic and accessibility data

Answer

The Manage Students section in the Educator Portal lets educators view and edit student information including enrollment data, grade, and assigned supports.
