(IBTP)
IBTP Demo
Create Items and Administer Tests
4
Learning Goals
At the end of this webinar, you will understand how to:
• Navigate in the IBTP
• Create and search for items, rubrics, and passages
• Submit items for review and approval
• Create and schedule assessments
• Administer assessments
• Enter scores for open response items
• Scan answer sheets
• Upload external assessment results
• View assessment results
5
Project Overview
• The Florida Item Bank and Test Platform (IBTP) provides districts
with a resource for the development of diagnostic, interim, and
summative assessments.
• All items have been developed to align with the new Florida
Standards for K-12 in ELA, mathematics, science, social studies,
and Spanish, plus hard-to-measure courses such as Chorus or
PE.
• The IBTP allows districts, schools, and teachers to write items,
search for items in the bank, create, administer and score tests,
and develop reports from results in a variety of ways.
• Assessment items developed as part of this project will be stored
in the IBTP.
• More than 800 Florida educators have contributed to its
development as item writers and item reviewers.
6
Preparing for Online Assessments
Before creating and administering online assessments:
• Discuss and follow your district’s test and item naming
conventions.
• Complete the Tech Check to verify that your hardware
meets the minimum requirements for online testing.
• If students are taking assessments using Secure Tester,
download Secure Tester on all testing computers.
• Set up microphones and headsets, if needed.
• Show students The Student Experience PowerPoint.
7
Technical Setup Tasks
Ensure that technical staff members at each school complete
the following tasks prior to administering online assessments:
• Confirm that all computers meet hardware and software
requirements.
• Download Secure Tester.
• Whitelist https://prodsnibtp.fldoe.org in any URL blocking
software or web proxies (e.g., iBoss, K9, Check Point, etc.).
• Update any firewalls to allow traffic over HTTPS, port 443
(SSL) to and from the production server host
(prodsnibtp.fldoe.org).
• It is best to minimize network activities taking place on other
computers during test times (such as streaming videos).
8
Preparing the Computer Lab for
Online Assessments using A/V
When taking World Language tests, students may be
required to record their responses in the IBTP using a
microphone. Prior to test day, ensure that the default
microphone is set up on the test computers.
See the job aid “Preparing the Computer Lab for Online
Assessments using A/V” for instructions.

PREPARING TO CREATE AN
ASSESSMENT
13
Designing the Assessment
When building an assessment, consider the following:
• Purpose of the assessment
• Type of assessment
• Overall assessment design
• Overall time allocated to assessment administration
• Time considerations for item types
• DOK levels of individual standards and benchmarks
• DOK levels of items
Consider creating an assessment blueprint and test map to
help organize this information. Blueprint and test map
templates are available on the training materials page.
14
Test Planning
• Discuss naming conventions for assessments.
For example:
Subject
Season
Year
Grade Form
Math Spring 2014 Gr K Form 1
Math Spring 2014 Gr K Form 2
• Discuss workflow.
Assign responsibility for blueprint and test map
creation, test creation, scheduling the test, assigning
the test, and monitoring the collection of test results.

CREATING AND SCHEDULING
AN ASSESSMENT
16
Benchmark Assessments
In the Florida IBTP:
• “Benchmark assessments” is a generic term that
describes all interim assessments not loaded as
standardized tests.
• Tests are created at the district or school level for the
purpose of institution-wide data collection. Teachers
may create tests for use in the classroom.
• Results appear in the School & District Data and
Classrooms modules.
17
Using Assessment Admin
• Use Assessment Admin to build tests and monitor the
collection of results.
• View data and report options in the Classrooms and
School & District Data modules.
18
Ways to Create a Test
Express test
Manual test
19
Creating an Express Test
Create a test quickly by selecting the standards to be
assessed and letting the system insert aligned items
automatically.
20
Creating a Test Manually
Create a test manually to choose the exact items that will
appear on the assessment. As a best practice, use a test
map to search for and select test items from the item bank.
21
Searching for Test Items
When creating a manual test, search for existing items by
subject, grade, standard, or course ID.
22

23
DEMONSTRATION OF THE PROCESS
24
Creating Test Items
Use existing items from the item bank or create new items
in Item Central.
25
Item Types
Use Item Central to create different types of items.
26
Naming Test Items
When creating a new item, enter a Unique Identification
Number (UIN) in the Name field. Follow your district’s naming
convention.
Note: See the “Naming Conventions” job aid for a suggested
item-naming convention.
27
Test Item Tips
When inserting images:
• Use PDF, PNG, GIF, or JPG file formats.
• Do not use images that exceed 2MB.
• Limit the size to 250KB or less for peak performance.
• Do not exceed dimensions of 640 x 640 pixels.
• Resize images prior to uploading to IBTP.
When inserting audio or video files:
• Use MP3 audio files, up to 4MB.
• Use MP4 video files, up to 10MB.
When inserting reference sheets:
• Use PDF, PNG, GIF, or JPG file formats, up to 1MB.
When inserting exemplars in Open Response items:
• Use PDF, image, or Word files, up to 4MB.
28
Submitting a Test Item
Test item creators (both administrators and teachers) who
know how to create an item in the IBTP may submit it for
review and approval in order to share it.
Administrators may:
• Submit a test item during the creation process.
• Submit a test item after the creation process.
If administrators have permission to save directly to the
school level, the items will be found under the school name
instead of under the filter “Created by = Me.”
29
Locating and Creating
Passages and Rubrics
Use existing passages and rubrics from the item bank or
create new ones in Item Central.
