Assessor · AI marking for teachers

Mark a whole class set in one pass. Stay the marker.

Load a rubric, the class set and your roster. Assessor de-identifies the work, scores it against your rubric, says plainly what it can't judge, and hands back a live marksheet you review and own.

The class set

See it

The real thing, not a mock-up.

Rubric in, names stripped, class set marked. Every band traces back to the work, and you stay the one who signs it off.

Assessor parsing a rubric into per-criterion band scales you confirm before marking.
Upload or paste your rubric. Assessor parses it into criteria and bands for you to confirm.
The de-identification attestation: every student name mapped to an opaque token before marking.
Every name is stripped to an opaque token before a word reaches the AI. You attest to it.
The results table: per-criterion bands, totals out of 25 and a percentage for each student.
Per-criterion bands, a total out of 25 and a percentage for every student. You review each one.

Honest by design

Marking a teacher can defend, not a black box.

De-identifies before it scores

A name, year level and school together identify a student. Assessor strips that out before any work reaches the AI, and shows you exactly what it removed so you can attest that it did.

Declares what it can't mark

A criterion that needs evidence Assessor wasn't given (drafting history, an oral presentation, effort over time) comes back flagged as 'not assessable', with a reason. Never a fabricated score.

Every band cites the work

Each score points to a verbatim span from the submission. A band with no evidence is rejected before you ever see it. That's the guard against over-generous marking.

You are the final marker

Assessor produces a first pass. It never finalises a mark. You fill the flagged blanks, edit comments into your voice, override anything, and sign off.

The flow

From a folder of work to a marksheet, in five steps.

  1. Upload

    Sign in, upload your rubric, the whole class set of work, and your roster of names. Everything stays in the session only.

  2. Approve the de-identification

    Assessor detects every identifier: names seeded from your exact roster, plus school, year and any self-ID in the writing. You review and confirm what's removed.

  3. Confirm the scope

    It reads the rubric and proposes which criteria it can mark and which it can't from the evidence you gave it. You confirm.

  4. Score against the rubric

    Each de-identified piece is scored against your rubric with a band, an evidence span, and a positive, student-first comment.

  5. Review and export

    Names are reapplied locally, never sent to the model. You get a live Excel (real =SUM totals, flagged blanks, one row per student) to review and paste into Compass.

What you get

A live marksheet, not a static dump.

One row per student: separate name and topic columns you manage, per-criterion bands, a real =SUM total out of 25, a live percentage, and a four-sentence positive comment.

Criteria it couldn't mark are left blank and visibly flagged, so nobody copies a partial total by accident. Fill the blanks, and the total and percentage complete themselves, ready to paste straight into Compass.

An exported Excel marksheet: one row per student, five criteria out of five, a SUM total out of 25 and a percentage column.
The exported .xlsx: real spreadsheet formulas, ready to review and paste into Compass. Names are reapplied on your machine, never sent to the model.

FAQ

Assessor, answered

Does student work go to the AI with names on it?
No. Assessor de-identifies every submission before anything reaches the model, seeding the pass with your exact class roster so known names are caught deterministically. You approve what's removed before it proceeds.
Does it give the final mark?
No. Assessor produces a first pass and you are always the final marker. It fills a live marksheet you review, edit and sign off; it never finalises a mark on its own.
What happens to the student work afterwards?
Nothing is kept. Work, scores, comments and the re-identification map live in the session only and are gone when it ends. The one lasting artifact is the Excel you export.
What if it can't judge a criterion?
It says so. Criteria needing evidence it wasn't given (drafting, oral work, collaboration, effort over time) are returned as 'not assessable' with a reason and left for you, rather than scored as a silent zero.
Does it detect AI-written work?
It flags texture worth a look and suggests a verbal check with the student. It never emits a percentage-confidence 'AI detection' number.
