Las Links Remote Testing Guidelines

LAS Links Online tests, when administered remotely, should follow as closely as possible the requirements for
on-site administration.
• The District LAS Links Online Remote Testing Readiness Checklist, available at https://laslinks.com,
helps you prepare for remote testing.
• The Test Administrator must be trained to administer each of the domains of LAS Links Online
according to the standardized process outlined in the LAS Links Online Digital Library.
• The Test Administrator must use a supported web conference platform and be familiar with the
use of that platform. Possible options are Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype,
GoToMeeting, and Blackboard Collaborate.
- Computer audio and web camera capabilities are required for both Test Administrator and student.

• For each web conference, there is a limit of five students for the Listening, Reading, and Writing
subtests; the limit is one student for the Speaking subtest.
- Tip: Medium to large Districts should consider training more Test Administrators than usual due to
the student limits for remote testing.
• All test ticket information must be kept secure and should only be provided to the student during the
scheduled web conference.
• All tests must be proctored.
• Optional, but recommended: prior to the testing day, the Test Administrator should schedule a
“practice” web meeting with the student(s) where the students will take the LAS Links Online
Practice test.
• A parent or guardian must be present with the student during testing. A Remote Testing Parent/
Guardian and Student Agreement template is available at https://laslinks.com. Districts have the
option to use the template and can add their own logo, translate, or change the verbiage to meet the
District’s needs. Districts are responsible for tracking, collecting, and retaining signed agreements;
DRC does not distribute nor collect signed agreements.
