Background
- Closure of print shop in FY20 combined with cost of replacing aging Scantron equipment led to an assessment of UToledo’s scanning vendor and process
- Scantron committee formed fall 2019 – met regularly until UToledo went remote in spring 2020
- Committee’s recommendation was to switch from Scantron to Remark Test Grading subject to the results from a pilot
- Pilot took place spring 2021
- Provost decided to move forward with Remark Test Grading
