Akindi

Akindi is tool that allows you to create your quizzes (multiple versions) and print the test sheets, you then use the multi-purpose scanner and printer to scan in the test sheets, upload that to akindi and it grades just like Scantron. This is all webbased, so you can do it in your office and it automatically pushes those grades to moodle. Akindi also has an online quiz option - that you upload your PDF version of your quiz and it will email the students the quiz. They can take it online and it auto scores the quizzes and pushes it to Moodle.

Akindi has great documentation and video tutorials: https://help.akindi.com/en/
