The education environment has focused so heavily on testing and benchmarking student comprehension that teachers are spending more time grading tests and less time teaching.

With student comprehension under the microscope, educators are looking for all means to assist in their ability to quickly assess students and take immediate corrective action. The Education Station along with the optional Lexmark Education Station Software v4.2 makes it fast and easy to test students and determine their learning gaps within minutes.

Expensive optical mark recognition or "bubble sheet forms", which have traditionally been used in the classroom, cost as much as 10 cents per page. The Lexmark Education Station dramatically reduces this cost to less than a penny per page while eliminating the need for form storage.

Why the Lexmark Education Station is right for your education customers?
