The Widefield School District strived to provide a uniform online testing environment for all students due to the implementation of the Common Core State Standards Initiative. In addition, the district's involvement with the Partnership for Assessment for College and Careers as well as the Colorado Measures of Academic Success further drove the need for reliable online testing processes. Uniformity, reliability, stability, and security for workstations were the challenges faced by the Widefield School District.
The Widefield School District deployed Deep Freeze to 'Freeze' the computers in their pristine state. This solved the issues with uniformity, reliability, stability, and security since the computers would return to their pristine state with a simple reboot and remove unwanted changes. Faronics Anti-Virus was deployed to provide an additional layer of security and ensure a secure online testing environment.
The recent implementation of the Common Core State Standards Initiative has placed more pressure on school districts in the United States to enhance their online and digital testing capabilities. In addition, the district’s involvement with the Partnership for Assessment for College and Careers as well as the Colorado Measures of Academic Success further drove the need for reliable online testing processes.
The school district had purchased Chromebooks in an attempt to address these issues, as they offered more reliability than the PCs being used. However, acquiring Chromebooks for the sole purpose of handling annual testing needs presented a potentially unwise investment. Officials wanted multi-purpose devices to be leveraged in everyday classrooms. They looked to Faronics Deep Freeze to provide the stability and consistency they needed from their Windows machines.
