This lesson will walk you through scanning students responses into an existing assessment such as a Manual/Hybrid Assessment with a camera using Lightning Grader!
Where to Start
- Go to Assessments.
- Select View Assessments.
- Click the title of the assessment you want to scan responses for.
Grade From Camera
From within the selected assessment, go to Administration > Grade from Camera. Since the Answer Key was already created, Scan Student Responses is your next step.
Scan Student Responses
Have students scan or start scanning using your camera! Once all the points of validation are highlighed green, the student's record will appear on the righthand side.
Teacher Mode (Default)
By default, the Teacher Mode begins collecting student responses as they scan.
Notice the Correct, Percent Correct, and Incorrect Responses are all available On the Fly, as student answers are being recorded.
Teacher Mode is for instances when you are monitoring scanning at your desk or a particular area and want to see student responses listed like the above. Selecting Show under Incorrect Responses will give an instant Student Response Summary of both correct and incorrect answers.
Student Mode
Student Mode is great for instant student feedback at a station or scanning area. Students can clear their answers before leaving by pressing Enter to clear the screen. Notice if there are rubric or teacher-graded items, it tells the student that additional work needs to be reviewed by the teacher.
Return to Teacher Mode to continue and see final results after all students have scanned their answers.
Save & View Results
After student responses have been scanned, you can select Save & View Results at anytime. This page remains in scanning mode, but gives a variety of instant data to analyze and enjoy!
Overall Performance
Answer Sheets scanned thus far can give an Overall Performance summary, based on the Number of Students scanned and the District Default Performance Band.
Score Distribution
Below the Performance Summary within the View Report On dropdown, is a Score Distribution report. This report will provide a quick student list with Student ID, Name, Score, and %Correct, as scanned thus far.
Notice at any time, you are able to Download to Microsoft Excel or a CSV format, when needed.
Response Frequency
Within the View Report On dropdown, is a Response Frequency report to see scanned results and distribution of answer choices thus far. For example, looking at Question 1, the correct answer is marked with an * which was A. 2 students answered A so far. However, Question 3 shows 1 student answered C, which is not the correct answer.
This report also shows each available answer choice based on the Answer Key in Step 1, any multiple or blank answer choices students may have scanned, the total number correct, incorrect, and a final % Correct graph.
Notice at any time, you are able to Download to Microsoft Excel or a CSV format, when needed.

You can also go to Administration tab and select Enter/Edit.
