Teachers, it’s back to school time—whether you’re teaching your class in-person or remotely, did you know that Xerox offers a number of really fantastic apps for educators?
The apps we’re going to discuss in today’s post on the Southwest Office Solutions blog are all available in the Xerox App Gallery, a repository of useful, efficiency-boosting apps compatible with your Xerox Connect-Key enabled device, such as any modern Xerox multifunction printer.
If your educational facility or training center doesn’t already have a Xerox MFP, why not encourage the decision makers at your organization to request a free quote?
Now, let’s take a look at the apps! We’ll start with a couple of real-must haves, particularly for those educators already using the Blackboard or Moodle learning management systems:
Integrate Your Already-Existing Learning Management System With Your Xerox MFP For Added Convenience & Features
Blackboard and Moodle are two of the most popular learning management systems. These systems are useful for collaboration, file serving, test-taking, and more—and they become even more functional when you install their companion Xerox Connect apps.
For example, the Xerox Connect Blackboard Learn App makes scanning, uploading, and sharing documents a breeze: you or your students simply scan the hard copy documents using your Xerox multifunction printer, and the documents will be available in Blackboard.
Similar functionality exists in the Xerox Connect App for Moodle which aims to make digitizing physical documents, presentations, and other media easier and faster. This empowers you and your students to get back to what matters: learning.
How You or Your Students Can Scan Books Easily & Quickly Using the Book2Go Xerox App
The Book2Go Xerox App is a really awesome innovation in book-scanning technology. This app allows you to scan the pages from a book with critical features like job building (e.g., scanning multiple pages from multiple books—for example, something all on the same topic from each), page splitting, and more.
However, what makes this app really interesting is how the digitized scan is delivered: instead of creating a file on the local memory of the printer or even emailing it to a predetermined address, the app simply creates a QR code which is displayed right on the Xerox multifunction printer itself.
Teachers and students simply scan the QR code with their mobile phone or other e-reading device and the scanned book pages will automatically be downloaded to the device. It’s incredibly fast and convenient!
Need to Grade Tests? Already Using Remark? Here’s How to Get it Done Fast With Your Xerox MFP
Here’s one more quick app recommendation before we go: if you already use Remark for testing, you’re definitely going to want to get the Remark Test Grading App for Xerox. This makes the process of grading Remark tests even easier—just scan the tests into your device and get instant results. You’re welcome!
