Exam Scoring

ITSS has discontinued electronic paper-based exam scoring and supports two options for exam scoring:

  1. Remark Test Grading Cloud
  2. Canvas Quizzes

Remark Test Grading Cloud

Remark, the same software used to process ITSS Scantron exams, now offers Remark Test Grading Cloud. This system allows instructors to:

  • Create an electronic or printable test "bubble" answer sheet.
  • Generate online tests to be emailed directly to students for completion. Once the completed tests are submitted, they are automatically graded using a digital answer key created by the instructor.
  • Create printed exams that can be scanned by a multi-function printer, and scanner and graded according to the answer key created by the instructor.
  • Generate and email the same scoring reports used with WebDrop directly to students.

ITSS hosts virtual demonstration sessions to introduce UMD instructors to Remark Test Grading Cloud. Interested instructors can watch prerecorded videos:

Remark also provides online documentation that includes Getting Started Guides with step-by-step instructions for setting up a paper or an online test. We will also be posting more detailed instructions on this webpage as the process develops.

If you are an instructor that would like to get set up with Remark Test Grading Cloud for your exams, please contact Karen Haedtke at (218) 726-7587 or [email protected]. There is no charge to departments for this service.

Questions about how to use the software can be directed to the Remark Support Team at [email protected] or (610) 647-8595.

Canvas Quizzes

The Canvas quiz tool is used to create and administer online quizzes and surveys. Quizzes can also be used to conduct and moderate exams and assessments, both graded and ungraded. Learn more about how to assess and grade student work using Canvas.
