ScanMarker Max

One Reading Pen. From Learning to Assessment

Support learners throughout their academic journey with one familiar device.

ScanMarker Max combines powerful reading and learning tools for everyday study with Exam LOCK, enabling specified functionality to be restricted when the device is used in assessment environments.

One device. More learning situations. Greater independence.

Supporting Learners All Year-Round 

During everyday study, ScanMarker Max provides a range of tools designed to help learners access printed information, understand content, create voice notes and work more independently.

Students can use ScanMarker Max to scan and listen to printed text, look up unfamiliar words, translate content, capture information and support their wider learning.

Then, when assessment time arrives, Exam LOCK allows specified functionality to be restricted.

The result is a single, familiar device that can support learners across different learning situations.

Everyday Learning. Assessment Support. One Device. 

Traditional exam-specific reading pens can spend significant periods of the academic year unused.

ScanMarker Max takes a different approach.

By combining everyday learning functionality with Exam LOCK, education providers can use the same device to support students throughout the academic year, creating the potential for greater device utilisation and reducing the requirement for separate standard and exam-specific reading pens.

Benefits for Education Providers

  • One device for different learning situations
    Support everyday learning while retaining the ability to restrict specified functionality for assessments.
  • Greater device utilisation
    Put assistive technology to use throughout the academic year rather than reserving devices primarily for examination periods.
  • Potentially reduce device requirements
    Reduce the need to purchase and manage separate standard and exam-specific reading pens.
  • Simpler device management
    Create a more consistent approach to providing reading support across your institution.
  • Encourage independent working
    Give learners technology they can become confident using throughout their studies.

Benefits for Learners

The first time a learner relies on assistive technology shouldn't be when they sit down for an assessment.

Using ScanMarker Max throughout their studies gives learners time to understand how the device works and incorporate it naturally into their learning.

  • One familiar device throughout the academic year
  • Reduced need to switch between different technologies
  • Greater familiarity before entering an assessment environment
  • Support for more independent reading and learning
  • Appropriate support across learning and assessments
  • The ability to remain within the same assessment environment as their peers, where permitted
