Automated Exam Assessment at Scale
A university needed to process thousands of handwritten exam papers each term, facing inconsistent marking and delayed student feedback.
Headline outcome
80% Reduction in marking time
The challenge
End-of-term marking was the single largest demand on academic time, with significant variance between markers and feedback often arriving too late to influence the next module.
“Implemented aivionGrade — AI-powered marking with OCR, rubric-based evaluation, and detailed analytics dashboards for faculty.”
Our approach
-
01
Piloted aivionGrade alongside human marking on two modules to benchmark accuracy.
-
02
Co-designed rubrics with the learning-design team and built moderation workflows.
-
03
Rolled out across faculties with VLE integration and faculty dashboards.
The result
Faculty time was redirected to teaching and curriculum design, students received personalised feedback within days, and dashboards revealed cohort-wide attainment patterns that informed the following term's teaching.
