- Akindi is a bubble sheet assessment platform and a substitute to campus Scantron services
- Akindi allows for faculty to create, facilitate, and scan their own bubble sheet assessments without the need for proprietary sheets or special machines.
- Akindi assessments are printed on normal 8.5" by 11" sheets of paper and scanned with common multi-function (all-in-one) printer/scanners with a scan to e-mail function.
- Akindi is integrated through Canvas so assessment scores can be automatically synced into your Canvas gradebook.
Benefits & Features
Akindi has many benefits over traditional Scantron sheets.
- It is cloud based so you can always access the raw images of each student’s scanned assessment. This means you no longer have to hold on to the sheets if you want to review them with a student.
- Akindi also allows for up to six different versions of the same assessment.
- Akindi makes it easy to regrade assessments without having to rescan them.
- You get analytics on your assessments like which questions were the easiest and the most difficult for your class.

Getting Started
How to Access Akindi?
Akindi is accessed from within a Canvas course. If this is your first time using Akindi in a particular course go to “Settings” on the bottom of the Canvas course navigation pane, select the “Navigation” tab at the top, locate the “Launch Akindi” option towards the bottom of the page, click the three dots to the right of “Launch Akindi”, select the “+ Enable” option, and then select the red “Save” button at the bottom of the page.
Please note that the “Launch Akindi” option in the course navigation will not be visible for students in the Canvas course.
Eligibility
Akindi assessments can only be created and managed by someone who has a teacher role in a Canvas course. The teacher creates the assessment in Akindi and prints the bubble sheets for their class. After the students have filled out their bubble sheets in class the instructor will collect them to be scanned.
