-====== PearsonVUE Integration ======
-The PearsonVUE Integration was developed to allow specific IW users to import candidates and registrations, publish exams and import responses to and from PearsonVUE. It is currently in a pilot project for [[https://www1.nyc.gov/site/buildings/index.page|NYC DOB]].
-===== Functionality =====
-==== Accommodations ====
-From the PearsonVUE documentation:
-The pre-approved accommodations that will be offered to the candidate during the exam registration process. See Additional Notes below.
-Pre-approved accommodations can be granted or denied at the time of registration. In the Sample data column, the offer to the candidate would be:
-  * Extra Break - 1 at 10 min (BR0110)
-  * Extra Time - 1 Hour for (ET01HR)
-==== CDD/EAD Export ====
-=== Background ===
-Clients send data to be imported into Pearson VUE’s database. Two types of data files are commonly sent from clients to Pearson VUE.
-=== Candidate Demographic Data ===
-Client CDD files are time-stamped records that contain candidate demographic data (name, IDs, address, etc.). Upon importing a client CDD file, Pearson VUE returns a VUE Candidate Demographic Confirmation (VCDC) file. This lets the client know which records were imported and which records failed.
-=== Exam Authorization Data ===
-Client EAD files (sometimes called “eligibility files”) are time-stamped records that contain authorizations for specific candidates to register for specific exams.
-Upon importing a client EAD file, Pearson VUE returns an Exam Authorization Confirmation (EAC) file that lets the client know which authorization records were imported and which records failed.
-=== How to use publish CDD/EAD Files ===
-You must have a bank selected. Navigate to the Pearson -> CDD/EAD Export menu option.
-{{:pearson:pearson.selectcdd.png?400|}}
-On the Generate CDD/EAD screen you will have to provide a start date. Any CDD/EAD data on or after the selected date will be included in the CDD and EAD files. Click the Generate button to start the external process that will process the Item Writing data, create the CDD and EAD files, ZIP those files and then allow you to download that ZIP file.
-{{:pearson:pearson.generatecdd.png?400|}}
-When the external process completes the results of the process the results of the process will be visible. Those include any error, warning or success messages as well as the pathways of the created files. If the process was successful you can click the Download Result to either open or save the ZIP file that was created.

-==== Exam Publish ====

-Sections within the Exam Publish form
-**Select a primary form**
-Only active forms/exams are visible in this list. Select the primary form to be used in the exam publication, then click the "Secondary" button to continue. This will load the secondary form list and also populate the NDA Time and Tutorial Time values.
-**Select a secondary form (optional)**
-The secondary form list shows all other exams (not including the primary form) and allows you to associate another form(s) to the exam publication.
-**Revision Number** will only affect the file name created.
-**Reporting Group** would involve knowing the data for the Items on the Exam.  If the Exam contained Items with Comp A-1, A-2, A-4-5, B-1, B-23  you would expect 5 distinct Competency groupings created in the QTI Assessment file, and the Items would point to those.  If Major Competency (A/B) you would only see two groups in the Assessment file.
-**NDA Time** refers to the amount of time that an exam administrator has allocated for test takers to review the exam non-disclosure terms.
-**Tutorial Time** refers to the amount of time that an exam administrator has allocated for test takers to complete the exam tutorial.
-**Exam Time** is a value set on the Exam - Pass form, see the field //Duration (Minutes) - required for CBT//.
-**Total Time** is the sum of the exam time + NDA Time + Tutorial Time (in minutes).
-**QTI Section Configuration**
-There are two pieces to the QTI section configuration. The first is a tree control that lists each of the six QTI exam sections; the second is a grid showing all of the items available to that exam. You may associate one or more items to each of the six sections. To do this:
-  - Click on a section in the tree
-  - Select an item from the grid
-  - Click the +Add button to create the association
-  - Follow those steps for each of the sections
-  - You may not add an item to a section if it has been previously added to another section
-You may disassociate an item from a section
-  - Expand the section tree node/text
-  - Click on the item under the section node/text
-  - Click the Remove button
-  - You may not remove any of the base sections
-You may reset the section association completely by clicking the Reset button.
-**Publish**
-Once all of the options have been set, click the Publish button. This will start an external process to create the exam files and prepare them to be downloaded.
