Spotlight on online marking
Online marking can allow you to provide feedback to students in a range of ways such as in line comments, video and audio comments. The feedback can then be accessed by students both on & off campus and at a time of day that suits them making it more accessible. Providing comments and marks electronically allows moderators and external examiners to review the work in a time and place that efficient for them removing the need for all parties to coordinate to submit, collect or return a single physical copy on campus. Audio feedback can add personalisation and a more nuanced comments for the students to take forward.
