Join the marking revolution with MarkSmart to discover a more efficient, engaging and effective educational experience. Designed to enhance the way you assess, provide feedback and inspire students, our innovative coded marking system offers a transformative approach that improves learning outcomes, while significantly reducing marking time.
Empowering Educators, Transforming Education
At MarkSmart, our vision is born from the firsthand experiences of English teachers overwhelmed by the endless marking cycle. Our coded marking software addresses a universal pain point: the exhaustive demands of assessment feedback that detract from teaching and learning.
Co-founder Kate McCaffrey, an English teacher, called on her personal experience with marking challenges to lay the groundwork for a solution that resonates with educators across Australia. MarkSmart is more than a code-based marking tool. It’s our answer to the call for more efficiency and balance, enabling a deeper focus on teaching.
At the core of what we do is the desire to liberate teachers from the burdens that cloud the joy of education while fostering an environment that elevates student success.

We trialled MarkSmart with our Year 11 and 12 ATAR classes in Semester One and have been surprised and pleased with both the time saved in marking, the efficiency of the feedback we can give and student review and reflection. My Year 9 class have just started using the software and they are excited about the process. We are looking forward to continuing with MarkSmart and heading into Semester 2. It is positioning our students to engage in the benefits of feedback to improve success.
