I need to read up on it a little more but it appears to mirror the Samsung and Kyocera solution from what I can tell by reading on paper. Teachers create their test on the computer, make the answer key, students take the test, and then scan back through to the system which grades it and provides analytics on questions, grades, etc. I was wondering if Gravic was making all these for everyone or if Canon's is actually a Canon product.

They put you through the ringer to become a dealer - pictures of our building, business plans etc. The second time around I told

Kyocera has had the Teaching Assistant App. for at quite a long time. The teacher simply puts in the number of students, number of test questions and selects the number of selections. ABCDE. It sounds a lot like the Canon solution is probably along the same lines. Teaching Assistant generates reports and captures the student name and signature for the report. The teacher can analyse the report by hardest question, easiest questions and overall percentages. If you have someone who is still using
