How iCapture can help schools with student assessment

In every level of education, the common student assessment for knowledge, comprehension and other critical information like student health or behaviors is derived from examinations and surveys. This information is a very important aspect of education.

Analysis of this data allows administrators to proactively create the curriculum and policies necessary to facilitate the needs of their students. iCapture’s automation tools provide an automated method of extracting data from these exams and surveys.  It’s a simple process that enables educational institutions to achieve accurate and useful data analysis. Schools can gather accurate student data in a felicitous manner and that data can become a powerful tool for improving the quality of the education that they provide.

The iCapture Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) automation tool intelligently reads check boxes or filled-in bubbles on documents and converts the results into meaningful data. This OMR tool can be very useful for many various types of industries, but it’s quite obvious how it can benefit educational institutions.

As you can imagine, OMR technology makes multiple-choice exam grading quick and painless. Another benefit of iCapture's solution is that you can use any form for the software to extract the information. The Accelerated Classification Engine (ACE) allows iCapture to quickly learn any new form types. 

There possibilities created by the combination of these advanced tools are endless. Custom bubble sheet forms can be built for various types of exams and scanned into iCapture which automates the process of classifying the document and extracting the data. The document with the extracted data can then be migrated into whatever third-party system your institution uses, where it can be viewed and quickly analyzed.

Advanced ORM technology can also be utilized for gathering other useful information that schools might see as valuable. For example, by collecting data, administrators can better understand the school’s environment, the performance of students, as well as various other areas, such as parent satisfaction, students’ opinions on specific issues, etc. Regardless of what data that you decide to gather, iCapture’s ORM solution from inFORM Decisions can help you capture it.
