How do I use the text-to-speech tool in an item bank assessment?
Enhanced accommodation (EA) assessments have several tools and accommodation features that help meet students' needs during the Mastery Connect assessment process. The text-to-speech tool can read passages, question stems, and question responses aloud to students.
District administrators and assessment facilitators can enable and manage the text-to-speech tool at the individual student level and at the tracker level.
