On The Fly means you will scan right now with no standards aligned (you can always save the results and align standards later).
Manual/Hybrid Setup means you will scan later and align standards before administering the assessment.
Skills Assessment means you will set up a letter, sound or word recognition test.
Itembank means you will create an assessment from an itembank library that will publish and be ready for scanning in Illuminate. *Itembank features are permission-based only. If you do not see this option, it is not available to your site.
