KITE Client: Important to Notes on Installation
• Macintosh—There is a difference in adjusting
security preferences between OS 10.9+ and 10.8- as noted in the KITE Client Installation Guide.
• Chromebook—KITE Client on Chromebook, both
unmanaged and managed, requires Kiosk Mode be set to prevent students from exiting KITE Client during testing. Be sure and follow the KITE Client Installation Guide to set Kiosk Mode.

planned for Jan. 14th at 3:30.• How to Prepare?

![Page 10: Alaska Measures of Progress Technology Directors January 8 th, 2015 James Herynk and Nick Studt Webinar Logistics: Audio will be streamed through Adobe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649c995503460f94956852/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Local Caching Server (LCS)
• A local computer or server that is set up to store data from students testing in KITE Client and then send that data all at once.• We suggest this is set up on a
dedicated computer with a fixed IP address.
![Page 11: Alaska Measures of Progress Technology Directors January 8 th, 2015 James Herynk and Nick Studt Webinar Logistics: Audio will be streamed through Adobe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649c995503460f94956852/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
LCS: 2015
• Release planned for February 6th, 2015• Expansion of the LCS Admin features
—Two Modes• Semi-Offline• Fully Offline
• Ability to begin testing with no internet if tests have been downloaded to the LCS• LCS-2014 will no longer work once the
LCS- 2015 is available.
![Page 12: Alaska Measures of Progress Technology Directors January 8 th, 2015 James Herynk and Nick Studt Webinar Logistics: Audio will be streamed through Adobe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649c995503460f94956852/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
LCS: What if you already have the 2014 installed?
• Delete the LCS-2014 file from the directory. This should be done before downloading the new LCS-2015.• After installing the new LCS, there is
nothing you need to do for the KITE Client machines as long as the LCS IP address is the same. • LCS-2015 cannot be installed while
students are testing on LCS-2015.

LCS: Semi-Offline Mode
• This is how the current LCS functions
![Page 14: Alaska Measures of Progress Technology Directors January 8 th, 2015 James Herynk and Nick Studt Webinar Logistics: Audio will be streamed through Adobe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649c995503460f94956852/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LCS: Fully Offline Mode
![Page 15: Alaska Measures of Progress Technology Directors January 8 th, 2015 James Herynk and Nick Studt Webinar Logistics: Audio will be streamed through Adobe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649c995503460f94956852/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LCS: Reasons to Use Fully Offline Mode
• No internet will be available the day of testing.
• Internet is expected to be unreliable do to weather, maintenance by your service provider, or limited bandwidth due to other local event.
• Remote location with no internet where testing machines and LCS machine will be delivered.
• Limited bandwidth
![Page 16: Alaska Measures of Progress Technology Directors January 8 th, 2015 James Herynk and Nick Studt Webinar Logistics: Audio will be streamed through Adobe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649c995503460f94956852/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LCS: Semi-Offline vs. Fully Offline Modes
• We suggest you set up the LCS in one mode and stick with it throughout testing.• In most cases, Semi-Offline is sufficient.
—Protection against temporary loss of Internet
—Variable Internet—Low bandwidth
