Akindi

This digital solution allows instructors to scan in bubble sheets using any scanner or a phone. It reads individual PDF files or a bulk file and scores the bubble sheet based on the answer key(s) submitted. It integrates with Brightspace and syncs with the gradebook. Data and reports can be exported from this tool.

There is a fee for each bubble sheet. This charge will be billed to Departments with courses using the tool. 

If interested in using Akindi, please get approval in writing from your department head, chair, or Dean, and then email oit@pnw.edu to begin the conversation.
