ReMarksPDF

Advanced Electronic Assessment Feedback

Abstract

ReMarksPDF is an ALTC project designed to significantly improve electronic assessment workflows in the tertiary sector and enhance student engagement. The project is concerned with summarizing the literature on e-assessment workflows, the policy implications for universities, relevance to TEQSA data collection, moderation and monitoring learning standards, new mechanisms for moderation within marking teams, and integration with Learning Management Systems. ReMarksPDF provides tools for timely feedback, embedding feedback throughout student assessment submissions, criterion-referenced assessment, and advanced moderation and quality assurance tools. The poster summarises the current state of development of the project and the free availability of this advanced cross-platform marking software for Australian academics. Case studies of ReMarksPDF Blackboard integration at Griffith University and ReMarksPDF Moodle 2.0 integration will be displayed. Technologically based methods of providing quality student feedback is an essential paradigm shift towards faster, simpler and more efficient assessment workflows for the benefit of both academics and students.
