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 Canvas for posting. The ParSCORE system takes some time to set up, but offers extensive reporting and analysis options.
Our Scantron Machine Comparison page compares features between the OpScan 4ES machine housed in CIRT and the 888P+ machine provided by ITS at the Help Desk in the Thomas G. Carpenter library.
The PC and software that run the scanner are located in Building 10. If you have questions contact us by e-mailing cirtlab@unf.edu or by calling us at (904) 620-3927.
