Akindi

What is it? / Summary / Overview

Akindi is a web-based assessment system that automates the creation and grading of multiple choice examinations. It is accessible through Canvas and it uses your departmental copy machine to scan and score bubble-forms.

Features:

• Sync with your Canvas class roster to create personalized answer sheets

• Print your answer sheets on plain paper from any printer

• Sort multiple sections and test versions electronically after scanning rather than physically doing so beforehand

• Scan the completed answer sheets on any document scanner

• Upload a pdf of scanned forms or, if the scanner has email capability, send the pdf directly to Akindi

• Handle changes to the key, multiple correct answers, and differential item weighting online

• Review student performance and item analysis results online

• Sync the exam grades with your Canvas grade book and email students their grades
