Lexmark’s Testing Assistant solution has been recognised by the analysts at Keypoint Intelligence-Buyers Lab with a 2018 Pick award, as Outstanding Education Solution.

The Lexmark Testing Assistant solution, which was released in April 2017, is a cloud-based application that allows teachers to import class rosters, create test answer sheets, scan and grade completed tests, and export student results to virtually any learning management system. It is accessible from all popular web browsers on PCs, Macs and tablets, and enables teachers to easily scan to the application using a ‘grading’ icon on a Lexmark MFP.

Using the solution, educators can print their own test materials and scan completed tests to automatically score them. Results are available in minutes, along with a variety of reports that can be used to accurately analyse student performance.

Jamie Bsales, Director of Solutions Analysis at Keypoint Intelligence said, "Lexmark Testing Assistant introduces a few features that we haven't seen from other test creation and grading solutions. For example, the solution supports mathematics responses, and can automate complex grading schemes—like how many points an individual or group of questions are worth. And for such a feature-rich test creation and grading solution, Lexmark Testing Assistant is still very easy to use. Creating tests was as easy as filling in a form, and grading tests is reduced to a one-touch scan job and a quick exception-based workflow."

Marty DeGraff, Lexmark Industry Director added, "Lexmark has been helping educational institutions bridge the gap between print and digital information for more than 20 years. We are pleased that Keypoint Intelligence has recognised Lexmark Testing Assistant for enabling teachers and instructors to save time, reduce costs and support student achievement."
