Code-Based Marking
and empowering feedback
A Simplified Marking System
Instead of drowning in paperwork, code-based marking offers a streamlined approach. Developed by co-founder Kate McCaffrey, relevant codes are assigned to areas of improvement, making feedback concise and efficient. In addition to utilising the Code Bank, you can underline, highlight and give a thumbs-up for great work, with the option to leave an additional comment.
Timely & Consistent Feedback
Each code corresponds to a targeted feedback message, ensuring students receive timely and constructive input. With just a few clicks, you can guide your students toward improvement.
Save at Least 40% of Your
Marking Time
Code-based marking saves you time and enhances the quality of feedback. Rather than falling into the habit of merely editing students’ work, the Code Banks permit consistent, precise and speedy marking.
