The marking still gets done. It just stops taking your evenings.
Apollo reads each learner’s work against your marking guide and drafts the ticks and feedback. You check it and change anything. One trainer took about 5 minutes an assessment, against her own estimate of about 16 by hand.
The same 24 assessments, replayed.
One trainer at a Queensland college took about 2 hours for 24 assessments, against her own estimate of 6.5 hours by hand. One trainer, one batch. How she timed it.
“On average, I can now complete Knowledge Questions in around 5 minutes instead of 15, and Task 3 assessments in around 15 minutes instead of 40+min, including marking, providing feedback in Moodle and uploading the marked assessment.”
What comes off your desk.
First-draft judgements
Each question gets a draft tick or cross. Anything unclear comes back as a cross for you to check.
Comments started for you
Each comment quotes the student and says what’s missing. You edit instead of starting from scratch.
One loaded guide, all night
The 30th assessment is marked against the same guide as the first.
Reads what students actually submit
Word, Excel, PDF or scans. No retyping.
Integrity checked in the same pass
Apollo shows you answers that look unusually alike, for you to read.
Your voice, kept
Add a few of your past comments and Apollo writes like you.
Mark a whole batch in one go.
One click drafts marks for the whole batch. The ones that need you most go to the top. Nothing is final until you sign off.
Written assessment, as submitted.
Used so far on business, management and project management units. Doing something else? Ask us.
Not this: practical observations, role plays, workplace demonstrations, hands-on trade skills, creative or artistic work, or oral assessments. Apollo only reads written work.
What assessors ask us first.
How does it know how we mark?
You give it your marking guide and sample answers, the same ones you already use. Check each task’s setup once, and Apollo uses it for every learner.
Do I have to change how I work?
Not much. Same documents, same upload. You check each task is set up right, then the marks are drafted when you open each one.
What if it gets something wrong?
You change it. Every tick and comment can be edited.
What happens to my students’ work?
Names and IDs are removed automatically. Check the preview, because it can miss some (like handwriting). Apollo doesn’t keep learner work after you close the batch. The detail is here.
Apollo drafts the mark and shows its working.
