Managing Moderated Marking efficiently and strategically
In order to ensure assessment outcomes are fair and consistent for all students, the Moderated Marking assessment practice provides structure and a strategic process for senior school staff and their teams.
Being a highly sophisticated and controlled process means that assessment marking is a highly arduous task. Stages of moderation range from the “planning phase” and pass a multitude of other points, right through to the “post-marking review stage”, all the while ensuring a set of pre-determined marking criteria are fulfilled.
Sapphire Key Solutions understands this is a time consuming and complicated, yet necessary process and have tailored a software solution that takes moderation marking to an online platform.
Ensuring the same strict processes and procedures are adhered to, Sapphire has developed an online marking system that is timesaving, efficient and makes easy work of facilitating the process for senior staff.
Its advantages include access to real-time data that Sapphire captures and delivers whilst promoting fair, objective marking.
All via an online software program that is easy to manage and maintain.
One of Sapphire Key Solutions major advantages is simultaneous marking; which negates the need for markers to have to wait for another marker to finish marking their section of an assessment before further marking can be undertaken. This we know is music to any marker’s ears!
Further to this, markers are able to easily compare the assessment responses they’re marking with assessment responses of other students who belong in a similar rank.
Add to this, features such as blind marking, and the capability for individual markers not being able to see each other’s marks, its plain to see how Sapphire can take the stress out of moderated marking. All of this, without compromising any of the core moderated marking structure, whilst continuing to fulfil all phases of the marking process.
So, the question isn’t why should you use Sapphire Key Solutions in your school?
The question is really, why wouldn’t you?
