Why Zipgrade?

Effective SUII 2020 WMU Scanning Services will no longer provide processing and tabulation support for scantron assessments. The Faculty Technology Center and members of the instructional support team have evaluated contemporary tools and determined that ZipGrade [https://www.zipgrade.com/], a downloadable application for Android and iOS devices, provides equivalent functionality.
Overview and training sessions on alternative and authentic assessment options will be offered regularly. Date and time options can be found at https://wmich.edu/elearning/training-sessions Additionally, instructors may contact the Faculty Technology Center to schedule a consultation with a member of the instructional support team.

What is ZipGrade?

ZipGrade is an application available on Apple and Android products for scanning bubble sheets. This is the replacement for scanning services. See the video below on how to get started.

 

Can any scantron sheet be used with ZipGrade?

No, ZipGrade uses its own version of a scanning sheet. In order to scan, you will need to use the forms provided by ZipGrade. Those forms can be found here. The forms for ZipGrade can be printed from any printer available and do not need to be any specific type of paper, making them easily accessible.

 

Is there a limit to the number of scans available?

Each user will get 100 free scans per month. To become an unlimited user the cost is $6.99 per year. You can keep track of the number of scans in your account in your application at all times.
