FAQs about accessible assessments
Assessments are intended to measure student progress in a specific area. To accomplish that, educators must remove barriers to engagement with the material, for example, those related to reading comprehension or reading skills (unless, of course, it’s a reading fluency assessment!).
That way, you can be sure you’re assessing each student’s ability with regard to your learning objectives, not the student’s current level of focus.
Many students perform better when they hear assessment questions as opposed to reading them.
Text-to-speech tools in particular provide an important read-aloud accommodation. The use of assistive technology tools meets a variety of individual student needs, whether that means reading passages out loud or removing distractions associated with screen reading.
Assistive technology can usually be integrated into LMSs and assessment platforms to level the playing field for all students.
Using read-aloud tools relieves staff from providing reading instruction for individuals related to assessments or assignments. This allows institutions to manage their budgets and resources more efficiently.
ReadSpeaker TTS is embedded in quizzes in all major LMSs. For Respondus LockDown Browser or other locked browsers, the student will see the Listen button or will click the Activation Tab which launches the Listen button.
In most LMSs, the student will need to highlight what they want to read and then click Listen.
