[LON-CAPA-users] Portable Exam Scanner

[lon-capa-users@mail.lon-capa.org]

Hi,

What kind of initial thoughts do you have about the interaction of the 
hardware with the students? Most of our classes are in the 100-180 range 
right now. How many scanners would you predict would be necessary? What 
are seen as the potential people problems?

Thanks!
Mark
