Activity — OMR Exam
An offline OMR exam students open from a clean per-exam page — printed unique-QR sheets or an on-screen digital mode.
What it is
An OMR Exam activity attaches an offline OMR (optical-mark-recognition) exam to the course. Students can take it two ways: on printed bubble sheets that are scanned back in, or in an on-screen digital mode — a tappable A/B/C/D bubble grid answered in the browser. Attaching the exam here gives the right students a direct link to it.
How to add it
- In Course content, click Add activity in a topic.
- Pick OMR Exam.
- Choose an OMR exam from the picker (configMode: instance, from /api/v2/offline-exams — only OMR-mode exams are listed).
- Click Add to course.
What students see
The activity deep-links each student to that specific exam (openMode: navigate → /app/omr-exams/:examId), landing on a clean two-action view — download the question paper and sheet, or answer online. On paper, each student gets a unique QR-coded sheet that auto-routes to their attempt on scan, so there is no roll-number bubbling to fill in. Choosing Answer online opens the digital player: the question paper on one side and a tappable bubble grid on the other, with a countdown timer when the exam sets one and autosave as they mark. Teachers who open the same link are taken to the exam in the OMR dashboard instead. When launched from a course, the exam opens right on the course page — inline (with a fullscreen toggle) or in a clean full-page player without the rest of the app around it. After a student submits (or their scanned sheet is graded) they get a View results button, and course completion is recorded automatically.
Completion
Scores reach the course gradebook. Add to gradebook is on by default for an OMR activity, and the sheet’s percentage is written the moment it is scored (digital submit or teacher scan); untick it in the activity settings if you do not want a grade column. Completion tracking is automatic by default here (the activity ticks off when the sheet is scored); switch it to manual, or turn it off, in the activity settings. Completions feed the course progress bar.
