How Maths Diagnostic handles data

Student answers. An online check stores the initials or student label entered, answers (including typed “other” answers), progress and dates in Peter Boyd’s Cloudflare database so the teacher can see the results. Timed and adaptive checks also record response times and check progress. Students can use initials such as A.J.; add a number if two share initials, such as A.J.2. A real name is not needed. Teachers may still use assigned labels and keep any matching list at school. Do not put student information in the assessment title or feedback forms.

Who can see it. Anyone with the student class link can see the check title and questions and join while it is open. That link alone does not show class results. Results and deletion require the teacher access saved in the browser that created the session. Anyone using that browser profile may have that access. Peter’s hosting account can access the stored data; Cloudflare operates the hosting and storage. Keep class links private and protect shared devices. A printed check code rebuilds questions, not access to online results.

Data on devices. Paper-backup class lists and manually entered answers stay in that browser. Online student devices save unfinished work and resume access locally; successful submission replaces the draft with a completion marker. Teacher devices save their session access. Clearing browser storage can lose access without deleting the online session. Printed or downloaded reports remain wherever you keep them.

Teaching and recheck records. The linked follow-up workspace saves selected students, original answer evidence, teaching dates, prerequisites, assistance and downloaded follow-up results in the teacher’s browser. Rechecks send only assigned P-codes, answer choices and progress through the existing online service. Names and the name-to-code mapping are not sent by this workspace. Keep that browser secure. Follow-up links work only in the browser containing the saved record. Deleting an online session does not erase previously downloaded local snapshots; “Delete all my data” also clears those browser records.

Private usage counts. On the teacher device, the resource guide counts report views, ready links shown, resource opens, coming-resource clicks and recheck starts/completions. These aggregate counts contain no student names, answers, class codes or teacher tokens; they are not sent to Peter by this feature. The private summary is available in the class report and is erased by “Delete all my data” on that browser. A link click is not evidence of learning.

Keeping and deleting results. Online sessions have no automatic deletion date. In the creating browser, open Online results, select the session and choose Delete this online assessment. Closing a session only stops new students joining. “Delete all my data” deletes the online sessions saved in that browser and its saved assessment data; it does not clear other devices, printouts or Tally forms. Clear site data separately on shared student devices. Deletion removes active database records; provider recovery copies may remain temporarily.

Optional teacher forms. The after-report Tally form asks for email, school and country, plus optional year-level and intervention questions and three separate email permissions. It records the check/version, source, consent version and submission time, without passing student answers, labels or class codes. The earlier release-update form collects email, requested years and role. The feedback form collects your message, feedback choices and optional reply email. Peter accesses these submissions in Tally to plan the product, handle feedback and follow your email choices. The report works without signup. Tally says form data is stored in Europe. No automatic form-deletion period has been established for this pilot.

Website services. Cloudflare serves the site and collects traffic/performance information. Tally supplies the forms. This is not an Australia-only storage promise. You can turn off this browser’s Cloudflare Web Analytics using the traffic preference page; this does not stop hosting request processing or Tally’s operation.

Help or removal requests. Email peter.l.boyd@gmail.com to change email permissions, request removal of form data or ask for help deleting a session. Start without student names, answers or private links. Peter will need to establish which record is yours before removing it. This note describes the pilot’s operation; it is not school-policy approval.
