Examinations, Assessments and Tests Using Print & Scan

The latest version of Print & Scan now has the ability to scan Master Answer Sheets for those undertaking multiple-choice questionnaires/tests or examinations using paper based OMR technology. This option adds a powerful tool to the Print & Scan system whereby administrators may now send blank answer sheets, in a previously agreed format, out to lecturers or tutors who can then complete the form by filling in the correct answers to the questions asked. These are then returned to the administrator who simply loads up the exam or test being taken and then scans the form data into the system. Print & Scan will automatically record the correct answers to the questions from the Master Sheet and when participant questionnaire forms are returned they can be scanned and marked by the system automatically. Both graphical and numerical analysis including individual marks, percentages, degree of difficulty and question spread are held by the system and structured queries utilising both And/Or arguments can be used for a more detailed breakdown of information.

A variety of question types can be undertaken by the system because of its flexible form design features. These include True/False, 1 from A,B,C or D, Extended Matching, 1 from up to ten responses, marking of short written answers, multiple responses to a single question, e.g. Select from a list of drugs the correct drug and/or drugs to administer to a patient with a known condition etc. and may be individually or randomly selected for an exam/assessment by the administrator. If using our Image system this can be extended further to include answer ordering whereby students can enter the right order sequence to the question asked.

For those who wish to grade students or keep track of a students progress then the Student Performance Monitoring option allows lists of names for each tutor group to be printed and the data retrieved can be used to undertake longitudinal performance related monitoring over a pre defined period.

The system is already supplied with a number of previously designed templates so that users can produce examination forms almost immediately.
