Akindi Bubble Sheet Training

Learn how to implement the paper-based assessments

As we return to the physical classroom, many faculty are planning to employ paper-based assessments during their synchronous class sessions. Akindi is UMBC's tool whereby faculty download bubble sheets, print them from any local printer, and scan results into any local scanner. These sessions will review all of the administrative functions to properly deploy paper-based assessments.

Trainings from Akindi will be offered on:

Note: Faculty only need to attend one of the above sessions; the sessions are repetitive.
