Impact: Students
Disruptions to internet connectivity can maximize test anxiety. To help, we are further improving how we inform students about connectivity issues. We designed assessments in Ultra to detect if a connection is lost. If this happens, we warn students.
Image 1. Connection lost warning
After 20 seconds, the warning disappears. If the connection is not restored, another warning informs the student that their most recent progress is not saved.
Image 2. Connection lost and progress not saved warning
When the connection is restored, the system alerts the student and confirms that progress is saved.
