Launch Options Page in Scorpion Project

The launch options page in Scorpion is where you control Launchpads, Bulk Proctor, links and LTI.  This guide walks you through how to set up and use each of the sections. These are great for delivering exams to lots of users at the same time or to standardize the delivery.  You navigate to the launch options page by using the project page drop down and clicking on Launch options.

Launchpads

Launchpads are used to make a link that examinees can use to take an exam.  These links are not unique for each user.  When the user clicks on the link, if you have your examinee information configured, the users will be prompted to enter in the configured fields (i.e. first name, last name, email, ect.)  for more on examinee information, please see: Settings Page in a Scorpion Project and look under the section "Delivery Settings Tab."

Clicking on the Add a Launch Pad will bring up the options.

Here you can name the launchpad.

Delivery tags are used to associate launchpads with bulk proctor links.  If you have any already made from bulk proctor links, clicking on the down arrow will show you what is available.  If there are none, you can enter one in.  After you have typed the name of the tag, then click on it in the drop down for it to be added.

The status should be set to active, unless you plan to use this launchpad at a later date.  If you need to change it, use the drop down.

You can have examinees sign in with a google account.  If you choose to use this feature, use the drop down to select Google.

If you would like to have your examinees enter a passcode to get into the exam, you will put that in the "Passcode" field (Note: The passcode will be the same for all students).

If you would like a Proctor to enter a code that only they know, enter that into the "Proctor Code" field (Note: The proctor code will be the same for all proctors).

If you have more than one exam form, choose the form of the exam that you would like the launchpad to deliver. You can also choose to use the form that is set up in exam flow.  Each of these options can be found in the dropdown menu. 

You may also set a limit on how many examinees can use this link in the delivery limit 

Click the save button to save the launchpads.

You can edit the settings of the launchpad by clicking the edit button. 

To get the launchpad link or if you want to delete a launchpad, click on the edit button.  The delete button will be at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

To get the link for the launchpad, click the Copy button at the tope of the page.

Bulk Proctor

You may create "Bulk Proctor" links if you’d like to proctor multiple examinees at
the same time. This link will allow you to see all the proctor logs for all deliveries
at the same time.  Form more on proctoring, please see How to Use Proctor Tools

Click on the Add Bulk Proctor button.

You will have to enter a tag which should match with a launch pad tag in order to proctor the examinees from the launchpads.  Type the tag then click the tag in the drop down, then the Save button.

Once you have a Bulk Proctor link created, you can click the Get link button to get the link.
