There are computer programs available to help teachers analyze the results.
Many schools have already statistical packages, and they are very useful for statistical analyses.
Using computer software is not necessarily difficult. If you have colleagues who know how to use a program and are willing to help you, you can learn to use most programs fairly quickly. Another problem might be imputing data for analyses. You need to punch in all scores or other data which you would like to analyze. If you grade with a machine, you can store the results on file, and you can use it for data.
