Onscreen Marking

Last week while attending an e-learning update conference, a speaker introduced us Onscreen Marking. This is an interesting tool developed by UNISA for teachers who would like to use electronic-type marking. It may not save you from marking, but it is a cool way to use the marked assignment as a feedback and learning tool for the student.

The assignment that is submitted must be in Adobe pdf format. Teachers can then mark the assignment in various ways. If they click on the calculator the program adds up the mark. Comments can be made on the assignment and mailed back to the student with the teacher keeping an electronic copy.

Some people may not agree with some of the marking methods, but it a useful tool.
