eMarking assistant: benefits for teachers, markers & students

eMarking Assistant received a commendation in the 2010 Australian IMS Learning Impact Awards finals - view the 5 minute presentation.

Teachers, graders, and markers save time and benefit because:

it saves you time when marking assignments and grading papers allowing you to reclaim your weekends and do the things you want because you:
- can build and reuse detailed feedback comment banks containing text, images, links and audio
- spend less time explaining the detailed comments to students
- can record audio assessment feedback within Word and saving it in the Word document
you remain in control of the emarking process and you can personalise any comment or use other Word features such as Word comments, Word track changes, revision marks, Word autotext or Word quick parts
your detailed comments will be more understandable as they are legible, detailed, and can contain links to supporting web sites
you can highlight a phrase and then click the Google it button to do a quick plagiarism test or search for additional information
your marking and grading will be more consistent, from the first to the last assignment
marks will be automatically recorded, totalled, and rescaled reducing errors and appeals
you can reduce your carbon footprint by using less paper and returning assignments via email rather than post
you can easily identify modified revisions in resubmitted assignments if the student uses Word track changes
