Built for every role
Who are you in the department?
For the people who decide
One standard across every module and marker.
Every submission is marked against the same marking criteria, whoever reviews it, so students get consistent feedback and you get a clear picture of the department.
- The same criteria, every timeSet the marking criteria once per module and every script is marked against it.
- See every cohort at a glanceAccelerate shows results by module, cohort and criterion, so you can spot where students lose marks.
- Buy it for the departmentOne plan for your department or faculty, with help getting set up.
Use of sources is the weakest criterion across all three seminar groups.
Illustrative example
For the people who mark
Your criteria. Your feedback. Your evenings back.
Upload your marking criteria, or write your own, and change them whenever the module changes. Every answer gets marked criterion by criterion, ready for you to review.
- Your marking criteria, your wayUse the module’s own criteria and update them any time. Nothing is fixed to one scheme.
- Feedback for every studentA score and a comment for each criterion. You make the final call on every mark.
- Create the follow-upSeminar questions, formative quizzes and essay questions, pitched at the module’s level.
Feedback: strong argument; explain why each source supports it.
Illustrative example
For the people who assure standards
Know whose work it is.
AI-writing detection runs on every submission, paragraph by paragraph, with a confidence rating for each section. It’s visible to staff only and never changes a mark on its own.
- AI-writing detection, built inFlags likely AI-written paragraphs and the likely source, for staff eyes only.
- Oral assessment and vivasRecord or upload spoken answers and mark them against the same criteria as written work.
- People stay in chargeEvery mark and every flag is reviewed by your staff before anything is released.
Visible to staff only. It doesn’t change the mark or appear in student feedback.
Illustrative example
For teams with many markers
Many markers. One standard.
When a module is marked by a team of associate lecturers, SmartEducator gives every one of them the same first pass against the same criteria, so feedback is consistent and their time goes on judgement.
- A consistent first passEvery script marked against the module’s criteria before a marker reviews it.
- Less time per scriptMarkers review and adjust rather than starting from a blank page.
- Works with your platformCollect work through Canvas, Microsoft Teams or Google Classroom, or upload it directly.
Everyone reviews against the same criteria and feedback style.
