Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right forum, but it does involve Excel.
I know how to create custom Excel forms. What I'd like to do is create such forms for teachers in a school to keep track of student behavior infractions (e.g. inappropriate disruptive behaviors - forms have to be paper based - no teachers have laptops, many are not technical, etc).
Then, the forms would be distributed to teachers, and they would create one "behavioral incident report" for each student for each infraction (maybe even log multiple infractions onto a single form, haven't decided) - it would include Teacher name, student name, checkboxes/radio lists for infraction, etc). Many different teachers/administrators would be logging this data onto different forms for the same student.
The part I have no idea how to automate is the scanning in of these forms - OCR'ing / translating the data into Excel so that for a student, we can summarize the number and type of infractions per week, month, etc.
If anyone can give tips and recommend the best software for the job (freeware/shareware solutions are desirable - not required
I would really appreciate. Thanks very much.
