Processing Forms

  1. BASIC SCANNING SERVICE: A request form for this basic/free scanning service must be completed when the scantron sheets are dropped off at ITS. The sheets are read and the resulting raw data file is sent to the 'Content Manager' area (the second tab beside the 'My OWL' tab) within the instructor's WebCT OWL course environment.  Use software such as ScanExam-II from Social Sciences Network and Data Services to process the data.

  2. FULL MARKING SERVICE: Print off and complete the Scoring Request Form. After the form and scantron sheets are dropped off at ITS, the sheets are scanned, processed and all requested files are submitted to the 'Content Manager' area (the second tab beside the 'My OWL' tab) of WebCT OWL.  For more information, contact the ITS Administration Office at 519 661-2151 (x82151) or refer to the ITS Services Document for billing details.
