Once the Response Sheet scans have been submitted, Akindi processes the data and quickly produces the grade results, providing an overview similar to the image below.
In the example above, there were 5 individual PDF documents uploaded, and all were successfully processed. The system discovered 7 “Issues” which are detailed below the View Results button.
What is an "Issue"?
An Issue is any student response that is unclear to Akindi. These exceptions occur when student information is missing, if a student selects more responses for a question than the answer key contains, or partially fills a bubble. By default, Akindi marks such responses as incorrect.
You can choose to ignore the issues at this point by selecting View Results, or Skip & View Results, or you can address them immediately. If you choose to skip the Issues, you can return to them later under the Review & Fix tab.
Resolving Issues
Akindi will provide an overview of the identified issues. These issues can be addressed immediately by using the checkboxes to indicate the presumed intention of the student.
Once the Issues have been resolved, click/press the View Results button.
When viewing the results, you can select from the tab options in the top left of the screen (Graphs, Responses, Review & Fix) in order to see specific results and any potential errors.
Overview Tab
This tab displays perhaps the high level, most vital information about the assessment and the student results, including the average grade, the highest and lowest grades, and the 3 “easiest” and 3 “most difficult” questions according to student responses. This can suggest which of your questions could be improved.
Graphs Tab
This tab contains the item analysis for all of your question, including the grades, grades distribution, and answer breakdown.
Responses Tab
This tab presents the full spreadsheet view of all of the students and their individual grades
Review and Fix Tab
Akindi will automatically discover Exceptions if student information is missing or incorrectly filled, if a learner partially filled a bubble or provided more responses than the answer key contains, or if a page wasn't able to be graded. By default, Akindi marks such responses as incorrect.
- Select the Review & Fix tab to view and resolve any Exceptions.
- When reviewing the exceptions, select Ignore Exceptions under the question heading if you would like every response for that question to be marked as incorrect. To alter a student response for a given question, use the check boxes that appear next to the exception.
- To resolve the conflict, select the response(s) that you feel best reflects the learner’s intention.
- Once an exception is resolved, Akindi will display a green checkmark to the right of the answer options.
