Problem Solving for Remote Administration

• If a student's iPad won't connect to the camera upon logging in, instruct the student to delete the app and reinstall it from the app manager.
• When the student completes the Recording Device Check during the logon process, the button that should read [I heard my recording] is instead displaying [Try Again]. We are working to correct the button text and will post an update as soon as this issue is resolved.
  Workaround: Students should select the [Try Again] button, verify that the green check mark displays at the top-right corner of the recording device check, and then proceed with the assessment.
