Some work on help.

    1: \label{exam_basics}
    2: There are multiple things here that you will need in order to run an exam.
    3: \begin{enumerate}
    4: \item you will need to be able to get a file from your scanning office
    5: that is scan of the bubbled scantron sheets.
    6: \item you will need to modify the scantronformat.tab file to properly
    7: describe what your data file looks like.
    8: \end{enumerate}
    9: 
   10: To see a homework problem set turned into a bubble sheet exam you need to - set the parameter 'problemtype' for the set to 'exam' in PARM.
   11: 
   12: The set of problems now it should automatically convert to a
   13: 'bubbled input' display, both online and when printing.
   14: 
   15: You should be able to print out all of the exams now and there will be
   16: an individualized exam for each student.
   17: 
   18: When grading the exam you will need to 
   19: \begin{enumerate}
   20: \item goto the set
   21: \item click PGRD
   22: \item click on 'Grade Scantron Forms'
   23: \item you will then need to upload the sacntron data file to the Lon-CAPA
   24: server (it is the bottom option on that screen.)
   25: \item one it is uploaded go back to the 'Grade Scnatron forms' screen
   26: \item fill in the top form, and click 'Validate records'
   27: \end{enumerate}
   28: 
   29: From there on out it tries to describe what is going on in detail so
   30: reading the screen and answering the questions should be straight
   31: forward.
   32: 
   33: We are also supporting annonymous mode of using scantron
   34: form exams.
   35: 
   36: Basically some people don't want to take the time to hand out 300
   37: exams to indiviual students (I.e make sure Alice gets Alice's exam and
   38: Bob gets Bob's exam.) So we have another mode, where we generate
   39: different exam versions all of which have a 6-letter 'CODE' which
   40: control the random numbers. The generating and grading of these is a
   41: bit more complex.
   42: \begin{enumerate}
   43: \item got to a resource in a course
   44: \item hit PRT
   45: \item select 'Problem from <mapname> for anonymous students'
   46: \item click Next ->
   47: \item type in the number of exams you want generated
   48: \item if you want to save the CODEs for later so the bubbled input can be
   49:     validated, type in a name to save them under
   50: \item click Next->
   51: \item print them out
   52: \item fill in some scantron forms
   53: \item get them scanned
   54: \item upload the scan results
   55: \item goto PGRD
   56: \item click 'Grade' scantron form
   57: \item Select the map, datafile, scantron format that knows where a CODE
   58:      is on the form, and the name that CODEs where saved under
   59: \item click 'Validate Scantron Records'
   60: \item follow the on screen prompts.
   61: \end{enumerate}
