New version of exam-marking utility is compatible with ScanAnPro forms-processing software
Kendata Peripherals has introduced a new version of its SEMS software utility to work
in conjunction with its recently launched ScanAnPro forms processing package.
Designed to significantly reduce the amount of time spent by teachers and lecturers
on the marking of multiple-choice exams, SEMS for ScanAnPro provides a simple report showing the
title of the exam and a listing of candidate numbers, student names, corresponding percentage
marks and the number of questions answered by each student.

After the students' answer sheets have been scanned, and ScanAnPro has entered their responses into
an Access database, the user simply scans in a master sheet with the correct answers. The SEMS for
ScanAnPro utility then compares the students' answers with those on the master sheet and instantly
generates the report. The master answers are retained in the database to enable future exam papers
to be marked against them.
In addition, the new software utility can generate student response feedback reports for use in
assessments to enable individual students to see which questions they answered incorrectly so that
they can identify the areas that need additional work. All reports can be saved as PDF files.

Particularly suitable for use wherever there is a range of computer literacy amongst
teaching staff, the SEMS for ScanAnPro utility is supplied with a standard exam answer sheet, which
can be overprinted in Word with the exam number and student names, if required.
More advanced users may prefer to design their own custom answer sheets, and they
also have the option of carrying out analysis and generating reports within Access.
The powerful ScanAnPro forms processing software enables data to be scanned from paper
forms directly into an Access database, from where it can easily be exported as an Excel document or
in a variety of other file formats. ScanAnPro was originally developed for use in Kendata's
forms-processing bureau, where it has successfully processed over a million A4 forms.
