Xerox scanner grades handwritten tests, scolds you for dangling modifier
Summary
Xerox recently pulled the wraps off a new program called Ignite that will turn photocopies into test grading machines. “Xerox has handed our grade-school teachers the gift of data analytics,” Adele Bovard, superintendent of the Webster School District—one of the several districts piloting Ignite in New York—said in a release. “Instead of spending time scoring tests and making sense of the data, teachers can quickly access pertinent views of the data and focus on meeting the needs of individual students.” Xerox says it developed the software so teachers can spend less time on manually grading papers and instead focus on planning lessons. This sort of application isn’t impossible considering that you can already use optical character recognition (OCR) software to convert handwritten notes into a PDF document.
