Research Projects
The OMR can also be used to scan research surveys. Survey templates are created using Remark Office software. Once the surveys are scanned, Remark software creates survey reports or the data can be exported to Microsoft Excel or SPSS software for further data analysis and reporting. The Centre for Teaching and Learning can provide training on creating custom templates for research purposes.
