[LON-CAPA-admin] scantron testing

[Nathan Schoenack]

I'm trying to figure out anonymous Scantron testing for our  
department here at NDSU (we actually use NCS scanners and forms).  Is  
there anybody out there that's using NCS and has successfully  
implemented the randomized testing and scoring through LON-CAPA.  If  
so, I have a couple questions for you:
     A. What type of NCS bubblesheet form do you use?
     B. Do you take the raw data from the NCS scanning (a .DAT file)  
and have LON-CAPA process that for scoring, or do you run a Perl  
script (or something like that) to put it in a certain format?
     C. Have you needed to change the /home/httpd/lonTabs/ 
scantronformat.tab file?
