TestNav and Chromebooks
Yesterday, the Office of Assessment and Accountability was made aware that an update was made on February 28, 2022 to Chromebooks switching to the Operating System (OS) 99. Currently, Chrome OS 99 is not supported within Pearson’s TestNav testing system. With the number of Chromebooks within Kentucky schools, this issue was escalated to the highest level by the Kentucky Department of Education and Pearson.
Pearson is committed to aligning TestNav system requirements with manufacturer-supported OS, devices, and browsers. When OS updates are released, Pearson first tests a beta version and reports any errors to developers. When the final version is publicly released, Pearson also tests this version to ensure TestNav compatibility before supporting it. When hardware or software depreciates, Pearson drops support for it.
Currently, the testing of Chrome OS 99 in TestNav is in progress. Any updates or changes to the support of Chrome will be communicated to District Assessment Coordinators, District Technology Coordinators, and KETS Engineers.
