Akindi
The Akindi Importer is available and supported as the newest addition to our assessment tool suite within Canvas. The Akindi Importer is particularly useful for faculty who wish to create large question banks and/or individual quizzes efficiently and quickly. The importer will automatically detect and convert your Microsoft Word questions into a QTI file which can be imported back into the course.
Akindi Importer Tool
The Akindi Importer is a powerful tool for educators, primarily used within Learning Management Systems (LMS like Canvas) to quickly convert standard Microsoft Word (.docx) files (containing questions, answers, and images) into digital assessment formats (QTI) for online quizzes or printable bubble sheets, offering automated question identification, randomization, and integration for grading, making large question banks and multi-version tests efficient and less error-prone.
Akindi Paper Assessments
Akindi paper assessments are a modern, digital solution for grading multiple-choice tests using regular paper and any scanner, replacing old Scantron systems by allowing instructors to print customized bubble sheets, scan them with standard office machines (or even a phone app), and instantly get graded results and analytics, often syncing directly with Canvas. It's a user-friendly, cost-effective tool that streamlines creating, administering, and scoring paper tests, making grading faster and providing better insights into student performance.
