I created a test class using our student tech wizards. You simply type each name in the box and hit enter until you have them all added. The student’s name corresponds to a card number, so be sure pass out your cards accordingly.

Scanning student cards You scan from the question screen in the mobile app. Your device needs to be in portrait mode. Click on the camera icon to scan.
