To put a student into test mode, sign into cowriter.com as an educator or administrator, go to Manage Students, select one or more students, click the Lock icon, then select the test the students will be taking from the dropdown and click Turn On.

Placing Co:Writer's Chrome App into Test mode for "ILEARN, IREAD, I AM: Non-Standard Accommodation"* loads a student's individualized settings with all the tools available that they use on a regular basis (except for disabling the spelling underline support, which is not allowed).

Co:Writer's Chrome Extension will also share these test settings when turned on. The extension can then be used in compliance with the test as long as the online word processor also complies with the requirements.  

 For  more information, see the Non-Standard Assessment Accommodation Request guidelines on page 33 of...https://www.doe.in.gov/sites/default/files/assessment/2020-2021-accessibility-and-accommodations-guidance.pdf
