From the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Posted: Thursday, March 3, 2022Test Scoring Shifting to New System
Our centralized resource used to score paper tests has gone off warranty, and the human resources needed to maintain this system are no longer available; therefore, we seized this opportunity to review our options to replace this system.
Amitra Wall, associate provost, and Khaleel Gathers, deputy chief information officer, sponsored a project review in December 2021 with faculty stakeholders designing an evaluation. They proposed three systems to review: Scantron, Gradescope, and Inspiron. Findings and recommendations were submitted this January.
Please review the Scantron Test Scoring Replacement Findings and Recommendation provided by the Project Management Office. Following the review and evaluation, the faculty stakeholders selected Gradescope as the recommended platform.
Our office worked closely with Meghan Pereira, director of instructional design and distance learning, and faculty members who use the current Scantron system to determine which solution will move our campus forward.
After you review the Scantron Replacement Findings and Recommendation, we ask that you please take this one-question survey.
Thank you.
