Tutorials

Quick videos to get you marking faster.

Introduction

A fast tour of the layout: navigation, project list and the marking screen with descriptors, comments and export options.

Text overview

First run and setup tour, showing where everything lives and how to start populating your data.

  • Blank state on first load; header, student list (left), units/descriptors (middle), comments (right).
  • Use Modify to add your classes, descriptors and comment bank.
  • Save changes as you go for a smooth first project setup.

Students

Create a class, add or import students, update names and archive cohorts as groups change.

Text overview

Add a class quickly and bring in a list of student names in one go.

  • Open Modify, rename the default class to something meaningful.
  • Use Paste list to import names from your register, replacing any placeholders.
  • Verify students have been added and can be selected for marking.

Projects

Set up a project, pick assessment descriptors, attach the right class and set targets so the marking screen is ready.

Text overview

Prepare your marking scheme by setting up units and descriptors.

  • Use Modify to edit unit names.
  • Source descriptors from an existing project or your exam-board spec.
  • Add levels/bands as needed; edit or delete bands/units to suit.
  • Once set, select descriptor levels while marking.

Comments

Build a bank of reusable comments and personalise feedback quickly while you mark, with a live preview of student-facing text.

Text overview

Create and refine a comment bank that speeds up high‑quality feedback.

  • Enter Modify to add comments (generic or specific) with clear headings.
  • Keep comments actionable (what went well, what to improve, next steps).
  • Save, then select from your bank while marking; edit comments any time.

Workflow

See the end-to-end flow: step through students, record descriptors and comments efficiently, then export your feedback.

Text overview

The end‑to‑end flow for fast, consistent marking.

  • Select a student and review their work across key areas (design focus, research, UX, etc.).
  • Add targeted comments; include a brief generic note if helpful.
  • Press Save PDF to generate feedback; move to the next student.
  • Adjust marks if needed; optionally add date and a student response space; save again.

Folders

Where exports are saved, a tidy folder structure for classes and projects, and quick ways to locate and share PDFs.

Text overview

Know where everything saves and how to share essentials with colleagues.

  • On first run, the app creates a data folder for settings, descriptors, marks and your comment bank.
  • Share descriptors with teammates by copying them to their folders to avoid re‑typing.
  • When exporting, choose the correct project folder; PDFs include highlighted descriptors, targets and comments.
