- 16. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Readiness - Online testing ▪ SBAC says schools will need 10-20 kbps / student on average and 50kbps/student for peaks. ✓ Critical to handle peak loads without latency/response delays in a high stakes testing environment ✓ SBAC readiness is defined as 50 kbps/student or greater Digital Learning Readiness - Driven by 1:1 Devices ▪ SETDA recommends 100 kbps/student to be digital learning ready today ✓ SBAC clearly states that the bandwidth standards for the assessment alone (above) will not be sufficient for digital learning Two Levels of Digital Ready
- 17. SBAC Readiness School Speed Tests (Fall 2012) ▪ 33% of schools are SBAC ready (>50 kbps/student) ▪ 29% of schools are on the fence (10-20 to 50 kbps/student) ▪ 37% of schools are below SBAC minimums (<10-20 kbps)
