ARLA/CLUSTER: Novo software de leitura optica vai tornar exames mais rapidos no Reino Unido

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Optical marking soon for amateur radio exams

New software will shortly be introduced to handle the administration
of amateur radio exams.

The design of the software that was commissioned includes optical
marking technology*. This will greatly improve the speed, accuracy and
cost-effectiveness of the overall administration of the examination
process.

Optical marking will cover all three levels of examination. It will be
used for marking the Advanced exam and for validating local marking at
Foundation and Intermediate levels. For candidates, optical marking
will mean recording their answers on a separate answer sheet.

The timescale for introduction of optical marking will be announced
once the software has been proven and tested. The RCF will give one
months notice of its introduction so that candidates can be advised of
the new answer process.

Further details will be in the March tutors' newsletter.

OMR – Optical Mark Recognition -  Reconhecimento Óptico de Marcas é
uma tecnologia que permite interpretar e extrair electronicamente
informação de campos marcados. Esta extracção possibilita a
incorporação da informação em software orientado para objectivos tão
diversos, como por exemplo a criação de estatísticas.
