Those of you who accept and grade electronic papers might be
interested in watching the following movie demonstrating the eMarking
Assistant software.

After many years of online grading and marking I created eMarking
Assistant to save me time and help me to provide detailed, useful and
timely feedback. The software is available as a 60 day trial and a 1
year subscription is $USD 20.
The software is an add-in to Microsoft Word (all versions of Word for
Windows) which allows markers to quickly insert comments from a
floating toolbar using the mouse or keyboard. These comments can be
very detailed and can contain text, tables, images, hyperlinks, audio
or anything else you can insert into a Word document. Inserted
comments can be modified and markers can easily store new comments for
future reuse and the comment bank can be easily moved to another
computer or saved for future reuse. Existing users tend to have
several comment banks e.g. a comment bank that is shared across a
department as well as course and assignment specific comment banks.
eMarking Assistant reduces marking time, increases student
satisfaction and also reduces the need for moderation. A comment bank
focusing on academic writing is supplied. The package also contains
suggested workflow when marking electronic assignments and modifiable
marking rubrics which automatically add and rescale marks.
Also included are Word based marking rubrics in which you can easily
select standards and record marks using function keys and then
automatically total and rescale these. Instructions for adding your
own criteria, standards and marks are included.
More information, screen demonstrations and free trial software is
available from:

online marking or grading.
