Akindi is used to create, print, and score bubble sheets for multiple-choice assessments.

Akindi will replace Scantron starting in January of 2022. It is integrated with myCourses, so you can print test sheets with student names filled out, as well as upload scores into your Grade Center with one click. Test scanning does not depend on No. 2 pencils; any dark pen or marker will work. The scoring system is forgiving of stray marks, and gives you the opportunity to resolve exceptions.

To use Akindi:

• Log into myCourses through the Portal. †
• Add the Akindi tool to your course site, then open it. †
• Create a test with the number of questions and choices per question that you plan to use.
• Provide an answer key that will be used for scoring.
• Print out the required number of sheets on your department printer.
• Administer the test to your students.
• Scan the completed sheets to PDF using your department printer, and send it to the Akindi address.
• Return to your course site for scoring.
• Send the completed scores to your course Grade Center, or download them for use in Excel or other software.

† It is recommended that you utilize Akindi through myCourses, so student and course data is seamlessly and automatically transferred between systems. Not using the Akindi/myCourses integration will result in limitations of Akindi functionality.
