Abstract :
To improve the professor time management, a study using optical mark recognition has been carried out. A free software package [automultiple choice (AMC)] and low-cost software (GEXCAT) has been tested on the evaluation of several groups of UPM students. This paper is the beginning of a UPM educational innovation project. As a result of the experience, both softwares are analyzed to develop in the future a new GEECA version, including optical mark recognition for classroom evaluations. The updates made to GEECA 2013 are presented and the adaptation of GEECA to work with AMC and GEXCAT.
