okke Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kohei Kuboyama) has significantly upgraded the printing functionality of Dr.okke, a test creation tool for tutoring schools.
This update introduces support for highly requested 'printing from smartphones,' along with new layout customization and test cover page creation features.
As a result, Dr.okke can now better accommodate diverse operational policies among tutoring schools—not only supporting digital learning but also meeting preferences such as 'printing test sheets on paper' or 'prohibiting smartphones in classrooms.'
Flexible Operations Aligned with Each School's Style: Digital or Paper
Dr.okke is a learning tool that allows teachers to distribute questions, which students can answer using smartphones or tablets, with automatic grading and performance analysis.
However, many tutoring schools operate under policies such as:
- Administering tests on paper to simulate real exam conditions - Prohibiting smartphones in classrooms
To support such schools, Dr.okke has long offered a printing function. Increasingly, schools are adopting a hybrid approach: printing test sheets while having students submit answers via smartphones or other devices, thereby automating and streamlining grading and analysis.
With this update, the printing functionality has been comprehensively redesigned to make paper-based operations even more user-friendly.
Optimized Layouts with Reduced Margins for Efficient Paper Use
Previously, the printing function used a one-question-per-page layout with generous margins to allow students to write down calculations and thought processes. This often led to excessive paper usage, especially for short questions.
The updated version now allows free customization to compact layouts similar to actual tests, minimizing wasted space.
Margin settings can be toggled per print job, enabling subject-specific customization—such as printing math tests with margins for working steps, while printing grammar or short-answer tests without margins.
Printing Now Available from Smartphones
Previously limited to computers, printing is now possible directly from smartphones.
This enables teachers to create and print PDFs directly from their smartphones, even in classrooms without PCs or where each instructor lacks dedicated computer access.
This improvement allows more schools to prepare tests easily, regardless of location or available equipment.
Enhanced Realism with Test Cover Pages
A new feature allows adding cover pages to printed tests.
Each cover includes:
- Test title - Time limit - QR code for accessing the answer submission page
These elements help recreate the atmosphere of an actual exam, making practice sessions more immersive and realistic.
Cover page inclusion can be toggled per test, allowing flexible use—such as adding covers for mock exams to simulate real testing conditions, while omitting them for daily quizzes.
Expanded Subject Support for Printing
This update also expands the range of printable subjects.
Subjects previously unsupported for printing are now being progressively added, including English vocabulary, enabling broader use of materials in printed format.
Since the same materials can be used in both digital and paper formats, schools can tailor operations to their unique teaching styles.
Ongoing Improvements Aligned with Real-World Needs
Dr.okke is a tutoring school service designed to streamline test creation, administration, grading, and performance analysis, with the concept of being the 'teacher's right-hand tool.'
Moving forward, the company will continue enhancing functionality based not only on the convenience of digital learning but also on feedback from schools using paper-based operations, aiming to deliver an even more user-friendly service.
