Online marking of exams 'faulty'
I talked with some staffers who have taught various online courses for a local university and they seem to think that the problem with online grading originates with the institution.
They said that there is just not a lot of training available for online instructors on how to use the universities system and how grading should be executed. They also said that online facilitators, the folks who in many cases do the grading when there are large sections of students, are not well trained or paid. They also said that the universities grading policies were very not very clear and did not take into consideration the nuances of online education and the system the university was using. So it seems that the problems stated in the article may not be isolated to the UK.
Please note:
(The
SyberWorks LMS is not positioned for the academic or university market, and do we compete in this area so the course management system they are refering to is NOT THE SYBERWORKS LMS.)
