4 Select the desired scanner from the drop-down list.
A separate entry will appear for every imaging device with TWAIN drivers installed on the computer. Some scanner
manufacturers will install multiple drivers for a scanner, so multiple entries will appear in the list for a single scanner. Try
to select the entry for the scanner that is most appropriate for the model and connection of your scanner. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section for additional details.
TIP
With plain-paper scanning, there is no need to specify a form and an assignment does not
have to be answered using the same form for all students. For example, you can administer a
50 question multiple choice test with most of the class using form ei50AE, but give students
with special needs form ei50AE Jr. There is no need to sort the forms or specify which forms
are being used. The form information is automatically read in from each sheet as it is
scanned.
5 Set the beginning question number and click Next.
TIP
To save paper, you can use the same forms for several assignments. For example, you can
administer and scan a quiz with 10 questions. For the next quiz, set the beginning question
number to 11 and have your students fill in the bubbles for questions 11-20.
6 Load the forms into the scanner ADF tray or flatbed.
Forms may be rotated 180° from each other but must be placed with the image sides properly facing the scanning
surface. Verify that the orientation of the image face of the forms matches the direction specified by the scanner
manufacturer.
7 Click Start Scanning to initiate scanning.
8 Scan the forms.
If the student ID on the form does not match an ID in your class roster, the program gives you the option to select the
student from your roster.
9 Click Finish to accept the scores and return to the gradebook.
Things to keep in mind:
l
Verify that the scanner is connected properly before you try to scan the forms. If you have trouble with the scanner, view
the Troubleshooting section of this help file. If you are still having problems, contact the scanner manufacturer for
support.
l
If you have more questions than can be accommodated on a form, divide the test into two parts and create separate
assignments.
l
Place the objective questions at the beginning of the test and number the questions consecutively (e.g., multiple choice
1-25, true/false 26-40, etc.).
l
If you have problem with a form, you can make corrections and then re-scan it. If necessary, you can manually enter the
points earned.
l
You can include matching questions on a scanned test, but you are limited to the number of choices available on the
selected bubble form. Check the form that you intend to use to be sure that the number of answer choices matches your
test questions. Or, you can include matching questions with more choices and score them manually.
l
The software allows you to get results for an assignment from multiple sources. For example, you could administer a
paper test to part of the class and an online test to homebound students.
