3Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide will familiarize you with basic principles of using the ALL In Cloud (the web-based part of the ALL In Learning system) and ASSIST (the iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch app). Topics are presented in a logical order, except that ASSIST topics are at the end. If you wish to use ASSIST primarily, you can skip to that section, and follow the references to prerequisite tasks as you go.

5Tips for a Good Scan
Bubble Sheet Scanning Help
Understanding the basic principles of ALL In Learning’s scanning feature will help you get good scans in a wide range of environments and equipment. This guide should help you get the benefits of bubble sheet scanning, like:
● spending a lot less time grading,
● instant feedback for students,
● great reports,
● and a growing track record of standards comprehension for each student.
If you are having trouble getting your camera to show up at all, jump to the “Don’t see your camera...” section at the end of this help guide. If you see your camera feed but just have trouble getting successful scans, proceed to the next section.
Anatomy of an ideal scan:
-
The filledin bubbles are nice and dark, with no pencil marks reflecting overhead light or looking “washed out.”
-
The black rectangle is fully in frame, with a little space around the edges.
-
The camera is directly in front of the page not at a heavilyskewed angle.
-
The lighting is even, with no heavy shadows, bright spots, or reflections on the page.
-
The image quality good crisp resolution, it’s in focus, the camera lens is clean.
-
The bubble sheet is flat not too wrinkled or curvy.
Common Problems and How to Fix Them
Pencil marks reflective or too light:
The problems:
The pencil marks for questions are reflecting overhead lights, appearing very light to the camera.
Solutions:
Change the angle scan, setting the pages on an angled reading stand, or aim the camera horizontally and hold the sheets up to it.
Change scanning location, avoiding the offending overhead lights. Or turn off the overhead lights if that’s an option.
Pencils can and do work in many of our user’s scenarios, but the marks may not be dark enough.
Have your students “finish” their assessment by going over their answers being careful to make dark marks. Or have them mark with a marker or a pen.Curves or shadows:
The problems:
Curves or heavy wrinkles in the page can skew the image.
Heavy shadows across one area of the page can make it difficult to scan. Sometimes these are caused by camera stands or other objects on the desk.
Solutions:
Placing the bubble sheets on a flat surface to scan. If holding the sheets up, be careful to not curve the sheet. Perhaps use a hard surface like a book or clipboard.
Arrange the scanning environment to eliminate shadows so that the lighting is even.
Ink or Lamination Reflections:
The problems:
Many schools save money on paper and ink by laminating their bubble sheets and having students use dry erase or wet erase markers. These sheets are most susceptible to glares from lights.
Some printer inks are reflective, and this can cause problems during scanning.
Solutions:
Just be sure to find the right scanning angle and lighting situation to avoid the lamination reflections.
Rectangle cut off or obscured:
The problems:
In this image, the rectangle surrounding the bubbles is cut off at the top.
Solutions:
This rectangle is important to get a good scan, and needs to be fully in frame, with a little space around the edges for our software to find it quickly.
Avoid any marks or objects (such as hands getting in the way or scribbles on the page) which cover over sections of the the rectangle, QR code, and bubbles.
Don’t see your camera in the dropdown, or don’t see any camera feed?
● Make sure no other software is currently using the camera
● Change USB Ports
● Restart your browser
● Restart your computer
● In Windows, go to Start>Control Panel>View Devices and Printers and make sure you see your camera in the list and it has no problem alerts
● Contact the camera manufacturer for driver or hardware support
● Confirm that your setup meets the minimum system requirements below
Minimum system requirements:
● Computer running Windows (XP, Vista, or 7), or Mac OSX operating system
● “Current” web browser (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari recommended highest)
● USB Video Compliant (UVC) camera, like webcams and laptop cameras produced in the last 6 or 7 years, and most document cameras (Elmo and Smart users, contact ALL In Learning for information on a $25 document camera for grading )
● Check to see if your camera requires software or driver installation.
Example: Avermedia document cameras require the new Aver+ software in order to work in a web browser. If this guide didn’t help and you are still encountering problems scanning, please contact technical support by email at or call 8776375353.
