Scanners

  • Many schools use OMR (Optical Mark Reading) in the past to mark/submit attendance and grades. It was the order of the day
  • OMR readers were deigned/manufactured/supplied by DRS for SIMS/Capita
  • Recently schools increasingly use PCs, Laptops, Pocket PCs to mark attendance/grades
  • As OMR usage reduces, the cost of maintenance increases
  • Some schools wish to continue to use the same process
  • We offer an interesting option, where we provide the same process. Teachers can mark Attendance/Grade forms and scan them instead of using OMR readers to update attendance records. The advantages are
      • Scanners are much cheaper, many costing about £ 20
      • Teachers can use scanners without an administrator having to do it
      • Scanner use plain A4 sheet and not the OMR sheets that cost about 3 pence
      • Scanned documents are read directly by School2000
      • Scanned documents may also be send as Email attachment
  • Please ask for a sample attendance form
