Student Portal

The more a student is involved in their learning, the more successful they will be. Our Student Online Testing Portal will undergo a full redesign!

In preparation for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year, and an expected increase in students taking assessments big and small using Aware Online Testing, we’re updating the interface students see as they navigate tests and review their score summaries. Additionally, students will have their own Online Help Guide to navigate our new item types and testing interface:

What's New in Aware

Aware has tons of new interactive items so be sure to check them out! This month, we’re showcasing Hot Spot. This question type allows the user to upload an image and place targets on the image as potential answers for students to identify.

Hot Spot features include:

• Automatic image resizing for student devices

• Target cloning to ensure identical sizing

• Text-to-speech support with alternative text

Be sure to check out Hot Spot on our interactive question card.

We’ve added greater flexibility and utility to the Strive Conferences tool! If you’re using the Strive Conference tool for your summer professional learning, you will notice some new features and updates that will enhance that experience.

Conference Managers can add more detail to publishing a conference by adding start times to the Publish and Registration dates here.

Conference Managers can edit sessions during the conference and email attendees.
