The most secure, reliable, adaptable and cost-effective e-marking solution in the world.
e-marking innovation - designed by professional markers, for professional markers
Designed to address the limitations of existing e-marking software tools for high-stakes assessments, SmarterMarking incorporates the same quality control processes adopted by those tools, such as double-marking, mark validation checks and real-time marker-monitoring and support.
Our innovation doesn’t stop there:
SmarterMarking offers the accessibility and flexibility that assessors and markers demand and an interface that is ultra-secure, easily adaptable, fast and straightforward to use.
It goes on…
SmarterMarking features include:
unique facial recognition marker log-in security options;
user friendly, intuitive and uncluttered, menu driven interface, configurable to suit preferred layouts;
touch screen and drag-and-drop functions for allocating marks to detailed points in students’ written or oral responses.
…and on…
Desktop and laptop PCs and Macs, tablets and smartphones exist because different devices are better for different situations. SmarterMarking works on all devices and is accessible through any browser and downloadable as an app — enabling professional markers to work and stay productive on the go.
…and on…
Operating in any language, on any device and with any operating system, SmarterMarking is the go-to e-marking solution for any assessment.
All this, and at costs well below the competition!
Welcome to the world of Smarter Marking!!
The most cost-effective e-marking solution
for any assessment in any language,
on any OS and any device...
Features
Built using the latest technology, SmarterMarking delivers items to markers in a pre-batched format, which makes the loading of the images extremely fast and removes lagging, which has been a historic problem with other systems and thus we believe SmarterMarking is the quickest marking platform currently available.
The need for security when marking high-stakes assessments can’t be overstated. Beyond standard password-validated log-in security protocols, SmarterMarking offers the highest level of security for marker authentication with a face recognition option. The only e-marking solution to offer this level of security. The face recognition feature can be enabled to register authorised markers at the start of each marking session and to block out unauthorised interventions once marking is under way.

Available through desktops and laptops, PCs and Macs, tablets and even smartphones, SmarterMarking provides a simple and intuitive user-interface. It leverages on features that professional markers are already accustomed to through their use of common on-line applications, reducing the learning curve and increasing user adoption.
Communication between professional markers is essential to be sure the highest standards of marking are met and maintained. Adaptable, to meet bespoke demands and needs of different hierarchical approaches of managing the training and monitoring of markers, the interactive chat platform feature of SmarterMarking fully supports one-way, two-way and group communication and messaging.

Accuracy and reliability are important features of a marker’s work, so too are consistency and speed.

No matter what innovative features SmarterMarking offers, nothing is more important than the quality of the marking and through seeding, standardisation and our AI verification module, we can deliver a world class quality driven solution.
SmarterMarking can be used with any creditable scanning provider however we are one of the few e-marking providers than have our own scanning and capture bureau and for large scale projects, you will be very impressed with the full package solutions we offer, all guaranteed by our quality promise and no outsourcing, something other providers simply can't offer.
