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 instructors to create, administer, and grade both paper-based and online multiple-choice assessments
Some key features of Akindi include:
-
Integration with Canvas: Instructors can now have Akindi activated in their course via course navigation.
-
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
- Course Settings
- Select "Navigation"
- Scroll down to the available options.
- Find "Launch Akindi."
- Select the three-dotted options widget and select "Enable."
- 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!
