Once students have taken a paper/pencil assessment using GradeCam™ answer sheets, scoring can be completed. This document will review how to score an assessment using GradeCam™ technology in SchoolCity SUITE.
GradeCam is only available for use with the SchoolCity SUITE if your district has licensed GradeCam through SchoolCity.
Before you can score assessments using GradeCam, you must first install the GradeCam Plugin. Please see the Help document, Installing GradeCam™, for information about getting set up with GradeCam in SchoolCity SUITE.
Where to Start
- From the Launchpad, select Assessments from the grid icon in the Top Menu Bar.
- Find the desired assessment from the list in the Assessment Manager.
- Select the bolded GradeCam icon camera. This will take you to the GradeCam scoring screen, where you can scan the students’ answer sheets.
The GradeCam icon will be bolded if the assessment has been published, GradeCam has been selected as a method of administration in the assessment setup process, and the assessment window is still open.
- Or, from the Launchpad, select the SCORE flip card.
- On the flipped side, select Scan using document camera.
- Find the assessment you wish to score, or click on More… to go to the Assessment Manager.
