EXP 

Why manually correct a large number of tests and accept the time expenditure? With scanner-based paper sheets you already have the evaluation within a few minutes!

Back

Based on the number of examinees and the desired question type, many decide for examinations with scanner-readable paper sheets. The answer options are crossed on paper sheets and afterwards scanned and evaluated. This saves you far more than half of the time required for correction!

EXP (Exam Processing) is a powerful tool for conducting and automatically grading written examinations. The application is designed for exam coordinators, lecturers, and administrators who want to efficiently manage and evaluate large volumes of exams in a digital workflow.

 

Features

  • Creation of exams in IMS with e.g. different question types, pictures, graphics, etc.

  • Easy export of the exam into scanner-readable paper sheets

  • Transparent correction processes with revision functions in Examinator2

  • Compatibility of all UCAN tools with common scanner systems

Create Exams in IMS

  • Create your exam easily in the ItemManagementSystem.

  • Use classic single and multiple choice questions, Kprime or open text tasks and add images, graphics, diagrams, formulas or equations as required.

 

Export exams to Scanner Sheets

  • Scan the paper sheets with commercially available hardware.

  • For example, use the scanner system EXP, whose license is included in the UCAN membership.

  • Quickly assemble the results calculated automatically.

 

Import back again

  • With one click you can import the results back into the IMS and use them for further test statistics such as discriminatory power, calculations of the relative pass mark, etc.

 

Scanner-System EXP

  • With EXP, exams can be uploaded in the standardized QTI format or imported directly from connected applications. After uploading the participant lists, the system automatically generates individual answer sheets—optionally with or without a cover page, with or without the question booklet, as a student folder, or as single sheets.

  • The completed and scanned answer sheets are analyzed by the system: students’ checkmarks and markings are automatically detected and assigned to the corresponding questions. Integrated verification algorithms identify potential errors (e.g., too many or too few marks), allowing exam coordinators to selectively review them.

  • Finally, the recorded results can be exported to the EX3 tool, where a test-statistical analysis of the examination can be performed.

Immediate benefits from day one:

  • The AI-based checkmark recognition achieves a significantly lower error rate in answer detection.

  • Our modern software architecture enables substantially higher processing speeds. EXP natively utilizes the power of multi-core CPUs and processes large volumes of exam data in a fraction of the time.

  • Maximum flexibility for scan imports: EXP supports a wide range of common image formats for importing scan data, including PDF, PNG, JPEG, ZIP, and TIFF.

  • Maximum flexibility in hardware compatibility: EXP runs on virtually any modern system. Support ranges from classic x86_64 architectures (Windows, Linux, macOS/Apple) to efficient ARM CPUs.

  • Integration with existing UCAN tools: Seamless integration allows exams to be imported directly from the IMS without intermediate steps.

  • Centralized and simple administration: All configurations, access rights, and settings can be managed globally and centrally in the Custodian.

  • Efficient layout and reduced paper consumption: The display size of answer boxes can be individually scaled. This flexible layout makes it possible to fit more than 100 questions on a single sheet.

  • Collaborative teamwork: EXP is designed for multi-user operation. Created answer sheets can be easily shared among colleagues.

  • Future-proof technology base: EXP is built on a robust, modern codebase and is compatible with long-term support versions of Java—from Java 17 to Java 21.

  • Support for bundled exams
