Parscore

ParSCORE is computer software that works in conjunction with the OpScan 4ES machine housed in CIRT. Exams are graded and stored in a grade book, which can be exported to a comma delimited file and then opened with Excel or uploaded to CanvasParscore form for posting. The ParSCORE system takes some time to set up, but offers extensive reporting and analysis options.
