Most administration of distance learning tests
takes place at the Viewing Listening and Testing Center. Students may
take their tests on a walk-in basis during hours of operation. The
last test is given out no later than one hour prior to close, This
is to ensure adequate time for testing. (Note: refer to your syllabus
as some tests may require more than one hour and plan accordingly.)
Correction of the tests does not occur at the VLTC, rather
tests are forwarded to the instructor for correction.
To insure fairness for all students, these testing
security procedures are enforced.
- Students must show a picture ID and a copy of their current semester schedule at the Testing Center.
- Students must sign the testing information book. Required information is: name, student ID number, course name, test number, and test form number. The sign-in sheet also indicates if you have turned in homework.
- Students must sit in the Testing Center. This room is equipped with video camera surveillance visible from the office.
- Students must remain seated while in the Testing Center. Moving from desk to desk is prohibited.
- Students are not allowed to leave the Testing Center once they have started a test.
- Students must turn their test into the testing attendant before leaving.
- Items not used while taking a test must be placed on the front table in the Testing Center at the student’s own risk.
- Children are prohibited from accompanying students into the Testing Center.
- No talking is allowed in the Testing Center.
- Cell phones, pagers, and IPods must be turned off in the Testing Center.
The VLTC will administer make-up tests
for individual students at the instructor's request. Students taking
make up test follow the same testing security procedures as those
used in distance learning testing. This service is designed to have
make up testing available in a consistent, secure manner and is
not a replacement for in-class testing.
The VLTC can videotape programs for preview from broadcast television. These tapes are for preview purposes only and by copyright law, cannot be maintained for more than 45 working days. Tape duplication, both audio and video, is available for faculty and staff only.
Some instructors may wish students to view AV
materials outside of class time for assignments or extra credit
work. Instructional material can be placed on reserve at the VLTC for student use. These materials can be viewed only in the VLTC and are
not available for checkout. If an instructor wishes, attendance
records can be kept for viewing credit on a particular title. Videotapes, CDs or DVDs can all be placed on reserve.
