Preparing Your iPads for Q-interactive Chapter 1

Configuring Your iPad® Settings for Q-interactive Before you can administer tests with Q-interactive, you need to complete three tasks: • Configure the Settings for both iPads so they: a) Pair correctly to share stimuli and capture data from each other. b) Display stimuli in a standardized manner. c) Reduce distractions that could disrupt the testing session. • Install the Assess app from the Apple App Store or iTunes.

The screenshots in this document were generated from an iPad operating on iOS 11.3.1. If you are familiar with the iPad, you can quickly configure yours with the Q-interactive iPad Configuration Checklist, located here.

Other Resources: The information in this chapter is also presented in the tutorial video, Preparing your iPads for Q-interactive, found under the Support tab on Central (i.e. qiactive.com). You can also sign up for the Onboarding Webinar Series here.

Becoming Familiar With Your iPad

The Front of Your iPad

(A) Front Camera. (B) Touchscreen Display. (C) Home Button. The Home button primarily acts as an escape option, but it has other functions as well. 1. Press the Home button to wake up the iPad if it's asleep.

2. Press the Home button twice to display the iPad controls if the iPad is awake and locked.

3. Press the Home button while in an app to return to the Home screen.

4. Press the Home button twice to pull up the multitasking shelf that enables you to see recently run apps. Shut down apps by swiping them off the top edge of the screen.

The Back of your iPad (D) Sleep/Wake and On/Off Button. 1. To put the iPad to sleep, press the Sleep/Wake button once. 2. To wake up the iPad, press the Sleep/Wake button once and slide your finger across the lock slider to unlock your iPad. 3. To turn the iPad off completely, hold the Sleep/Wake button down for a few seconds until the Slide To Power Off slider appears at the top of the screen.

(E) Back Camera. (F) Side Switch. Tap the Settings app and tap General, and then select either Lock Rotation (to lock the screen orientation) or Mute (to mute the sound). 1. If you chose Lock Rotation, rotate the iPad to the orientation you want (landscape or portrait), and then toggle the side switch to expose the orange dot. Your iPad will stay in the position you locked it in, regardless of how the iPad is positioned. When the rotation lock is on, an icon with a small lock with an arrow around it appears near the battery icon. 2. If you chose Mute and toggle the side switch to expose the orange dot, the iPad’s Silent mode engages and mutes alert noises. (Note that you can still hear the audio from music and videos on the device’s speaker when the iPad is in Silent mode.)

(G) Volume Up/Down Buttons. These buttons control app sounds, as well as audio and video playback. You can quickly mute the iPad by holding down the bottom button for two seconds. (H) Built-in Speaker. (I) Dock-Connector Port. Use the device’s dock-connector port to charge your iPad. (J) Micro-SIM Card Tray.

(K) Headphone Jack. If you plug in headphones that have a microphone, the iPad will recognize it and allow you to use it to record a client's verbal responses in Q-interactive. Otherwise, the iPad will use its built-in microphone.

(L) Microphone. The iPad’s internal microphone that can be used to record a client's verbal responses in Q-interactive.

Installing the Q-interactive Assess App Assess is an app you download from the Apple App Store or iTunes Store found on your iPad or through iTunes on your computer. To install iTunes on your computer, go to apple.com/itunes and follow the instructions. While you are able to download the app through either a computer or an iPad, the following instructions show how to download the Assess app through the App Store on an iPad. You need to install the Q-interactive Assess app on both iPads.

Step 1: In the App Store, go to the Search bar at the top right and type “q-interactive.” The Q-interactive Assess app appears in the Suggestions section.

Step 2: Tap GET, and then enter your Apple ID credentials to download the app.

Note for iCloud users: For data security reasons, Q-interactive stores data in a file intentionally excluded from iCloud. Assessment data will not be permitted in iCloud nor permitted to sync to the Apple Servers.

Adjusting Your iPad Settings for Q-interactive Adjusting some of the iPad settings from their defaults prior to using Q-interactive helps ensure that the stimuli display consistently during testing and helps eliminate disruptions during testing. All of the settings can be adjusted in the Settings app.

Activate Wi-Fi. If you have a secured Wi-Fi connection, Q-interactive can stay connected to the Internet and will save your data to Q-interactive Central throughout the administration.

Step 1: Tap Wi-Fi in the menu on the left side of the screen.

Step 2: Tap the Wi-Fi switch on the right side of the screen until it changes from white to green and the Wi-Fi and the Network options display. Tap on a network. A check mark will appear once connected.

Enable Bluetooth. Q-interactive utilizes a Bluetooth connection to pair the Practitioner and Client iPads. Step 1: Tap Bluetooth in the menu on the left side of the screen.

Step 2: Tap the Bluetooth switch on the right side of the screen until it changes from white to green. While you may see Bluetooth enabled devices displayed under either the “My Devices” or “Other Devices” categories, it is important to note that the Q-interactive Bluetooth connection is established within the app (after logging in) and once paired, you will not see your second iPad displayed on this page.

Disable Gestures. Gestures should be disabled on the client iPad to prevent the client from exiting the assessment session. To disable Gestures, tap General on the menu on the left side of the screen, select the Multitasking & Dock option, and then tap the switch on the right side of the screen for Gestures until it is white.

Disable Auto-Correction and Auto-Capitalization. The login credentials for Q-interactive are case-sensitive. Disabling these two settings helps ensure accuracy when entering login credentials and helps address a common login difficulty.

Step 1: Tap General in the menu on the left side of the screen, and then select Keyboard on the right side of the screen.

Step 2: Disable the Auto-Correction and Auto-Capitalization options by tapping each switch until it turns white.

Set the Language and Region Format. Q-interactive uses the language and region format settings from your iPad to display text, dates, and other formatted values in the correct format for your country. This information also is used to contact Technical Support for your area.

Step 1: Tap General on the left side of the screen, and then scroll down the right side of the screen and tap on Language & Region.

Step 2: Adjust the Language & Region as needed. See the table

below for options.

Country, Region Format, and Language Options

Country Region Format Language United States United States US English Australia Australia English (Australia) Canada Canada English (Canada) New Zealand Australia English (Australia) United Kingdom United Kingdom English (U.K) Netherlands Netherlands Dutch

Set the Passcode. Establishing a complex passcode helps protect the security of your iPads. Newer iPads also feature Touch ID, which provides further security.

Step 1: Locate and tap Passcode in the menu on the left side of the screen.

Step 2: Disable Simple Password. You will be prompted to enter your old passcode and then to create a new passcode.

Adjust the Display and Brightness Settings. Maximize the brightness on the Client iPad (i.e. the iPad that will serve as the stimulus book) and set the Auto-Lock to 15 minutes on both iPads.

Step 1: Tap Display & Brightness in the menu on the left side of the screen. Step 2: On the right side of the screen, maximize the brightness by sliding the dot all the way to the right, until the line is solid blue.

Step 3: Tap the Auto-Lock option, and select 15 minutes. A check mark should appear after it is selected.

Disable Auto Brightness: On the client iPad, disable the Auto-Brightness option.

Step 1: Tap on General in the menu on the left side of the screen. Step 2: On the right side of the screen, tap on the Accessibility option, followed by the Display Accommodations option. Step 3: Disable Auto- Brightness.

Change the Application Mode. Q-interactive requires two iPads, each serving a specific purpose. One iPad should be in Practitioner Mode and the other iPad should be in Client Mode.

Step 1: Scroll down the menu on the left side of the screen. Find Assess and tap it to open its settings menu.

Step 2: On the right side of the screen tap Application Mode.

Step 3: On one iPad, tap Practitioner until a check mark appears. On the other iPad, tap Client until a check mark appears.

Note for users of iPad Minis or iPad Pros: A standard-sized iPad must be used for the Client Device. If you are using an iPad Mini or iPad Pro (the large one), it must be designated as the Practitioner’s Device.

Disable Audio Capture. For subtests requiring verbal responses, Assess can record the responses to be played back later to verify scoring. However, in some instances you may be unable to obtain consent from a client for audio recording.

Step 1. Tap Assess in the menu on the left side of the screen.

Step 2: Tap the Microphone switch on the right side of the screen until it changes from green to white.

Housekeeping Tips • If possible, batteries should be fully charged before starting an assessment. • Do not run other applications or leave other applications open on the iPad during an assessment. To turn off apps in the background: 1. Double click the Home button to display all apps that are currently open. 2. Place your finger on the app you want to close and swipe your finger to the top of the screen to close the app. • For optimal performance, reboot the iPads after each assessment session.
