PLEASE NOTE: This app will ONLY work with testing sheets printed from the PaperScorer web app. You will need to create a PaperScorer account through our website to print new testing sheets. This app will NOT work with any other testing sheets printed from another company. This app is ONLY used for scanning already printed sheets. PaperScorer is a full service bubble scanning platform that empowers teachers to quickly and easily create bubble sheets, scan bubble sheets and review the data. We have deep integrations with a number of powerful LMS platforms; Canvas, Blackboard, Google Classrooms, Classify Learning, and much more. Let us do the heavy lifting for you. Once you scan sheets with your iOS smartphone or tablet, we will send auto scored data directly into assignments or tests created on those platform. This application will work on any Apple iOS smartphone or tablet released in the last 3-4 years. You will not have to worry about buying expensive scanning equipment. Simply use your own smart phone to scan completed sheets using the PaperScorer app. You can manage assessments online through our teacher app. This app is very powerful and easy to use when creating/managing classes and assessments. Teachers will be able to create assessments with the following question types; single select, multi select, numeric response and written response. Once assessments are completed, teachers will use the iOS scanning app to get score data into our system. Our bubble sheets on printed on standard 8.5x11 sheets of paper. There is no need to buy special paper. You can use any standard printer to print sheets where students can fill in their ID, or you can print sheets with student information already pre-filled. Furthermore, our iOS app will automatically detect our sheets to make it really easy to scan completed tests. Once scanning is complete, you can review the results online using our detailed reports. PaperScorer allows teachers to add common core standards to any question, and the teacher app will support tagging questions to slice data differently. Teachers can also export the data to review scanned information within an external reporting tool.

Don't memorize ventilator waveforms. Watch them being made. Ventlas is an educational simulator that computes pressure, flow and volume waveforms from resistance and compliance using a single-compartment lung model. Nothing is hand-drawn: every trace is integrated from the equations, breath by breath. Because residual volume carries over between breaths, auto-PEEP emerges from the arithmetic rather than being painted in. [ ATLAS - 17 conditions ] Normal lung / ARDS / COPD and asthma / Cardiogenic pulmonary edema / Obesity and raised abdominal pressure / Atelectasis / Pulmonary fibrosis Mucus plug / Kinked tube / Tension pneumothorax / Endobronchial intubation / Circuit leak Double triggering / Flow starvation / Ineffective triggering / Auto-triggering / Reverse triggering Each condition is explained in four panels - mechanism, mechanics, waveform, clinical - with a severity slider in real units. What matters is what separates conditions that look alike: - Atelectasis vs fibrosis: does compliance improve when you raise PEEP? - Kinked tube vs mucus plug: does pressure fall in proportion to flow, or with its square? - Auto-triggering vs reverse triggering: does the negative deflection come before the breath, after it, or not at all? [ THREE MODES ] Volume control / Pressure control / Pressure support The same problem looks different in each mode, and that is the teaching point. Volume control shows it as rising pressure; pressure control shows it as falling volume. In pressure support the breath ends on flow rather than time, so high resistance stretches inspiration out. [ SIMULATOR - the patient answers back ] Work the ventilator and the patient changes over minutes. Saturation, end-tidal CO2, heart rate and mean arterial pressure are monitored continuously. An arterial blood gas takes two minutes to come back, and the result is the patient as they were when you drew it - not as they are now. Four scenarios with targets: ARDS, COPD, atelectasis, circuit leak. Every setting you change is logged with the vital signs of that moment, and the whole session can be exported at the end. [ MEASUREMENTS THAT REFUSE ] No plateau pressure without an inspiratory hold. No auto-PEEP without an expiratory hold. No compliance when patient effort or a leak makes it meaningless. Knowing why a number cannot be measured matters as much as the number. Korean and English. Works entirely offline. No account, no ads, no in-app purchases, no data collected. This is a medical education simulator. It is not a medical device and must not be used for diagnosis or to set a real ventilator. Every value shown is computed from a mathematical model and is not a recording from a real patient.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Ventlas at every 3 days against PaperScorer Scanner's every 5 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
