Analyze+Benchmark+Progress+with+Accuscan

=** Tuesday, August 24, 2010 **= =** 12:30-1:45 **= =**Session**= The Accuscan/Benchmark test scoring machines are the new Scantron machines. These test scoring machines scan tests like the Scantron machine, but are linked to a computer installed with the DataLink software included with the scanner. The Accuscan/Benchmark scanners can be used in stand-alone (or ‘self-score’) mode without a computer. When used with DataLink software on the computer, valuable instructional features are available through sorting and exporting features. This software allows you to download results into Progressbook, sort into multiple spreadsheets, and prepare reports on student progress.
