Thanks for your time, patience and energy today for our UTIPS Core training! It’s a new system that is and will be a great tool for formative assessment for you – in both the current core and for the new Common Core.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, a little background philosophy about the new UTIPS Core system. This system has been rewritten from the ground up to be a great assessment system for ALL stakeholders in Utah. As such, ALL users have a login into the system and a unique way to identify that user. This makes the data and information created by the tests that are taken can be used (eventually) in other data system, such as SIS. Not long from now, you’ll probably be able to give a UTIPS Core test and have those results show up in your gradebook!<\/span><\/div>\n

Since everyone has an account, everyone has a ‘Role’ or what rights and privileges they have been granted. The way that you can easily assign new users (administrators, teachers, and students) is to assign an Enrollment Code<\/strong> to put that user in the right level of the organization, whether they can just take a test, administer it, or share it. Enrollment codes will be how we let the system know that you are a teacher at your school, and to let it know that your students belong in your class to take your tests.<\/span><\/div>\n

UTIPS Core has been written using the latest web technologies. Because of this, it works very well on mobile devices like the iPad. It also requires a modern web browser, like Google Chrome<\/a> or Firefox 4.0<\/a> or later. Follow those links to download and install an updated browser if needed.

I’ve attached the most current User Manual for your reference – you can find it at the bottom of this article. As we go through the training, I’ll direct you to the page of the manual that goes along with the task at hand. Please know that over time, this resource will be improved upon and I’ll make sure that I have the most current version available to you here on my site – Just click on the ‘UTIPS Core’ tag on the left to find the newest stuff!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
