Hello Terry, I am using SDAPS extensively at Princeton for exams, and am able to take advantage of it's huge amount of flexibility. Up until now, I have mostly done my postprocessing through rapid prototypes - something that is fine for my own usage, but not suitable for public distribution. Over the past summer, and in the upcoming year, I am developing a better set of tools to hopefully be able to extend this.
Post-processing is actually very easy thanks to Benjamin's extensive CSV export feature: this feature exports each individual's exam as a row, with checkboxes as binary fields, and everything else as exported PNG images (including, if desired, the checkboxes' images for doublechecking for instance). This provides a vast opportunity to - often very simply - postprocess the grades, even for very simple things like computing an actual grade. What I have in mind is very complicated, and possibly a separate set of tools. So I think that what you are actually describing is something that would greatly benefit SDAPS. That is having a built-in function to simply extract a grade from a multiple choice exam with a simple grading scheme - right now it is much more geared towards survey, and so as far as I know the only ready-made exporting feature is the report with percentiles. Best, Jérémie. On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 2:04 PM, Terrence Kovacs < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am new to sdaps and am impressed by it's ability to process forms.
