In higher education, one of the most valuable resources is time, so if Markguide can help you streamline your assessment, it means that you can do your work more quickly and efficiently. This is very important when processing a number of exam papers. Being able to quickly and effectively locate the assessment paper for the list of people you will mark on behalf of is crucial.
Automation reduces repetition
It can be easy to miss a step or forget something during the drawn-out marking processes. Using Markguides automation means that grading capabilities can handle much of this repetitive work. One of Smartmark’s key features is OMR (optical mark recognition) outline marking, which dramatically reduces the time spent on lower-value tasks. This enables staff to focus more on constructive, personalised feedback where it really matters.
Intuitive, User-Friendly Design
One of the biggest barriers to implementing new software in a business is System adoption, as well as the steep learning curve. Markguides ‘ simple, uncluttered interface minimises the impact of adoption with an intuitive UX. Meaning that the user can easily identify key areas and important aspects of the platform, without the need for complete education.
Real-Time Feedback Speeds Up Response
The Real-time feedback that you get from the Markguides platform means markers can see when assessment cycles are complete. It is easy for them to pick up their work and pass it over to the next assessor. This also provides the University with real-time results, allowing them to see if trends are emerging within specific subjects and examinations. These kinds of insights are helpful for teachers in reflection and for departments to improve their teaching methods.
Seamless Integration with Existing Systems
Markguide works with existing systems, meaning there is no waste of resources or hours spent integrating with them. Markguide removes inefficiency by integrating with existing systems, ensuring assessment data runs smoothly without duplication of effort and lower error rates. Staff no longer need to manually re-enter student information across multiple platforms; information can be called using student details into Markguide, ready for the assessment process.
