A quick word regarding digital testing platforms in the College of Nursing. (Please read before purchasing a new or different device.)

We strongly recommend confirming the computer requirements for your courses in the respective syllabus. Although the official testing platform for Undergraduate Programs is
ExamSoft, other testing platforms and remote proctoring solutions may be your Professor's preference. 

Chromebook compatibility is currently problematic, and iPads are effectively incompatible with Lock Down Browser. Most newer Windows laptops as well as MacBooks are compatible
with all platforms; however, older devices may no longer be compatible. 

Students, faculty and staff are able to order Dell PCs and Apple Macintosh computers at a discount for personal use. More information about this can be found on this ETSU webpage:
https://www.etsu.edu/helpdesk/computers/ordering-personal.php

If you would like assistance determining if your device is compatible to any testing platform, please email David Mills (millsdb@etsu.edu) or Mark Bodo (bodomn@etsu.edu) and
we will schedule a Zoom meeting or other type of appointment. More details regarding Examplify compatibility can be found below.

  antivirus/antimalware software (set to re-enable with restart or at least for a period greater than two hours) in addition to any
  dialogue windows or system notifications before launching Examplify
• Mute or set volume to zero

  to place the iPad into Single Application Mode. To submit your completed exam, turn off Airplane Mode.

If you do not have a compatible device for exams you may email a request to reserve a College of Nursing device to millsdb@etsu.edu
If something happens to your device at the beginning of an exam, Mark or David are on-site and typically have a device that you can borrow.
