Streamline Grading with Ondorio: The Automated Test Checker for Educators
Grading tests and quizzes can be a time-consuming task for teachers. Fortunately, innovative solutions like Ondorio are emerging to automate this process, saving educators valuable time and effort. This article explores how Ondorio, an application developed by Nowa Era, simplifies test checking and enhances teaching efficiency.
What is Ondorio?
Ondorio is a cutting-edge application designed to automatically check closed-ended questions from tests and quizzes created using the Generator Testów i Sprawdzianów (Test and Quiz Generator). It's currently available to teachers in primary schools (grades 4-8) and secondary schools. The primary objective of Ondorio is to streamline the grading process, allowing teachers to focus more on instruction and student engagement.
How Does Ondorio Work? A Step-by-Step Guide
Using Ondorio is simple and intuitive. Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Log In: Access Ondorio via ondorio.pl using your existing credentials for "Moja Nowa Era" or the Generator Testów i Sprawdzianów portal. If you're a new user, you'll need to register for an account first.
- Create a Test: Design your test using the Generator Testów i Sprawdzianów tool. You can incorporate both open-ended and closed-ended questions.
- Print and Administer: Print the test and, importantly, the answer sheets. Students should mark their answers exclusively on the provided answer sheets.
- Scan or Photograph: Log in to Ondorio and use your smartphone or a scanner to capture images of the completed answer sheets.

Ondorio: Automating Accuracy and Efficiency
Ondorio excels at automatically verifying the correctness of closed-ended questions. For open-ended questions, teachers can manually input the awarded points on the answer sheet. The application then intelligently reads both the student's answers and the teacher's entered points to calculate the student's overall percentage score.
Optimizing Answer Sheet Capture
To ensure accurate processing by Ondorio, follow these tips when photographing answer sheets:
- Lighting: Capture images in a well-lit environment.
- Angle: Hold your phone parallel to the answer sheet.
- Focus: Ensure the image is sharp and clear.
- Markers: Make sure all four corner markers, the QR code, and all tables on the sheet are visible in the photo.
