Edcite's Bubble Sheets allow teachers to administer Edcite assignments on paper. The directions below review 1) how to print Bubble Sheets for students and 2) how to upload the completed pages for grading within Edcite. Note: the bubble sheets feature is not currently supported on Firefox.

Bubble Sheet Printing Instructions:


Bubble Sheets can be printed for any teacher-assigned or district-distributed assessment that is assigned to a class or to students.
Note 1: Multiple Choice (#005) questions should have no more than 8 answer choices.
Note 2: One page can fit up to 90 Multiple Choice questions.

Find and Print Bubble Sheets
The "Print Bubble Sheets" button can be found in two different places:

i) Teacher created assignments can be printed from the "My Assignments" page, under the rightmost column "Actions," click the three dots, and select "manage" from the drop-down. Note: "Manage" will not be an option if the assessment has not yet been assigned to students.

Once the Manage window pops up, the "Print Bubble Sheets" button is located next to the "View Assignment Settings" button.

 

     
ii) District Distributions can be printed on the Common Assessments page. Click on the QR code to the right of the assignment name.



Each sheet printed will have the following:
  1. Student name (student ID) and assignment name (assignment ID)
  2. Questions
  3. QR Code containing the student ID and assignment ID

In the example below, Q1-5 are Multiple Choice questions, Q6 is a Free Response question, and Q7 is an Essay Response question, which is on page 2.

    Bubble Sheet Upload and Grade Instructions:

    Note: The button for the Bubble Sheet Grader will only show on assignments for which the bubble sheets have previously been printed.

    1. Once students have answered the bubble sheets, teachers can upload them from either the "Grading" page (see Image A below) or the "Reports Hub" (see Image B below).

    Image A Grading Page: Click on the "Grade Bubble Sheet" button near the top of your screen to open the bubble sheet grader. 



    Image B Reports Hub:  Click the "Submit Bubblesheets" button in the "Single Assignment" column



    2. Scan the answered bubble sheets into the system by following the steps listed below. Make sure the sheets are aligned correctly and not inverted. If using a mobile phone to upload bubble sheets, take pictures and use a conversion app (e.g. Adobe, Camscanner) to multi-convert the pictures to PDF.

    Step 1: Load the scanned PDF into the bubble sheet grader by clicking on the "Select PDF" button and selecting the scanned PDF. 

     

    Step 2: You will see the sheets appear as shown below. You can navigate through pages by changing the page number in the edit box and pressing the "Enter" key.



    Step 3: Click the 'Read All Sheets' button to start grading. The system will read all the sheets and process the student choices. If there are any errors with reading particular sheets, once the sheets have been scanned, a pencil icon will appear next to the student, like in the image below. Clicking the pencil will allow you to manually enter student answers. Once this is done, click "Save Sheet". Note: if you are having any issues with this process, please reach out to support@edcite.com and attach the PDF(s) with which you are having difficulty uploading.





    Step 4: The final step is to submit the student answers to Edcite's Grading page. To do this, checkbox all students and then click "Submit Selected". 



    When this step is complete, student answers will be shown in all Edcite reports and cannot be changed unless the student's submission is unsubmitted.

    Note: to view a Free Response or Essay Response answer that has been submitted, go to the Grading page, click the Plus icon next to a student's name, select the question number, and click the Paperclip icon. Grading these question types is most efficiently done using the Grade by Question tab. For additional information on grading student work, click here.



    Note: answers to students' Multiple Choice questions can be manually entered in the bubble sheet grader. Click here to learn more.
