Subject: Re: online exams for students with accomodations

We had a few students try it last summer - and it was very successful.
They need to be able to practice, and hopefully we will have
sufficient practice sessions, but on the whole, it is a great
solution.

For kids that get hakraat Shelion, tt highlights the words as they are
being read to them.
The kids with oral have to do the entire exam (rather than only part)
but at least they do not lose millions of points for each wrong
answer.

I highly recommend trying it. It is NOT mandatory - if you have some
kids who do NOT feel comfortable testing this way, they do not HAVE to
- but they shoudl at least try. They have everything to gain and
nothing to lose.
