drs e-marker

The e-Marker solution is widely used throughout the world, providing scalable, electronic marking methods with exceptional quality control and far more rapid turn around times compared to existing manual assessment processes.
e-Marker has been designed to  improve the speed, accuracy and reliability of examination marking,  harnessing the power of real-time image capture readers and sophisticated software delivered across the internet, to capture securely item-level responses and marks from examiners.

e-Marker® is designed to enable examination and assessment bodies to capitalise on the flexibility that marking from image brings.  Approaches to marking that are impossible to implement at scale from paper-based marking are now made available through e-Marker®. Key benefits include:

  • Routing items of different content or marking difficulty to specialist     groups of markers
  • Real-time monitoring of marking accuracy
  • Re-distribution of marking load electronically
  • Marking appeals without the need to re-scan scripts or circulate     original paper copies.

Recent research has shown that item-based marking has a very high degree of marking accuracy, producing marking outcomes that have increased reliability.
In addition, e-Marker® provides invaluable management information, providing a wealth of added value and benefits, including:

  • Centralised logistics and script management
  • Status reporting on key processes
  • Removal of clerical errors
  • Problem resolution through the inspection of images of scripts
  • Business rules to ensure all marking is completed
  • Different quality control options
  • Marking cost reduction through the use of computer-assisted expert     marking and general marking
  • Regular transfer of mark data
  • Provision of management information through tailored reports
  • Support of awarding processes through the selection of key script     images.
