Renaissance Education is making big changes to their Illuminate DnA assessment platform this summer. As part of these changes, we have recently learned that they are ending the access to, and use of, the Legacy Item Bank after June 30, 2024.
ALL supported items in the ACPS Legacy Item Bank (LIB) are being migrated to the New Item Bank (NIB) where we will continue to have access to the items we have authored.
Teacher authored items that have been published will be migrated, whether shared or private, and you will have access to your items in the New Item Bank going forward.
Legacy Item Bank assessments should be duplicated into the New Item Bank before June 30, 2024, if the assessment is needed for future administrations to ensure the access to make edits/updates as necessary to Legacy Bank items.
Legacy Bank assessments will be disabled from being administered, however, they will still be viewable for historical data.
At this time, new items should not be created in the Legacy Item Bank. as they will not be migrated to NIB (item migration is currently in progress)
Before June 30, 2024, teachers will need to DUPLICATE to the NEW ITEM BANK any Legacy Item Bank assessments that you would like to keep as a current assessment. You do not have to move your assessments from Legacy Item Bank to New Item Bank unless that assessment is needed for future administrations.
You will also need to publish any test drafts in the LIB you would like to continue to access.
How to Duplicate a Legacy Bank Test to the New Item Bank:
Once the test has been duplicated, make sure to review the content for items that did not migrate.
If you have questions about next steps or need assistance with the duplication of your assessments, please reach out to your LTI or email IlluminateSupport@k12albemarle.org
