Exam Scan - Returning Paper Exams to 1300 Students Electronically

Even something as simple as returning exams becomes a logistical hurdle when you have 1,300 students in a class. Exams identified with barcodes are scanned and a file created for each exam, named with the student’s uniqname and exam ID. Using a custom script, the resulting files are placed in an M+Box folder for each student, allowing them to view, download, and print, but not alter or delete the exam. Hear how this collaborative effort saved hundreds of hours of instructor time grading and returning exams to students while eliminating the possibility of cheating by altering graded exams.
