ODL is excited to announce a partnership with Akindi: a web-based test-scoring tool that serves as an alternative to traditional systems like Scantron. Akindi allows educators to create, administer, and grade both paper-based and online multiple-choice assessments

 

Some key features of Akindi include:
 

  • Integration with Canvas: Pilot participants can now have Akindi activated in their course via course navigation. If you would like to participate in this exciting pilot, please send a ticket to our Canvas Support Team.  

  • Flexible Scanning Options: Instructors can use regular 8.5" x 11" printer paper and any scanner to manage assessments. Smartphones can also be used, but this is not our recommendation.

  • Enhanced Data Security: Akindi complies with FERPA and FIPPA regulations, ensuring secure handling of student data.

  • Support and Training: Akindi offers unlimited personalized training sessions, chat and email support, group webinars, and a robust help center.

 

You can activate Akindi in your course by going to
 

  1. Course Settings
     
  2. Select "Navigation"
     
  3. Scroll down to the available options.
     
  4. Find "Launch Akindi."
     
  5. Select the three-dotted options widget and select "Enable."
     
  6. Finally, at the bottom of the page, select "Save." 

If you have questions regarding Akindi, please submit a ticket to our Canvas Support Team, or reach out to Akindi support at [email protected]. You can also use the chat support via the in-app chat functionality. 

 We look forward to hearing from you!
