Electronic marking solutions support ever increasing volumes
DRS e-Marker® system for Awarding Bodies continues to be an outstanding success.
Since it's launch in Summer 2005, the DRS e-Marker® system has
continued to be an outstanding success. During the summer of 2008, over
8 million GCSE candidate entries were electronically marked via the
web. This is an impressive increase to more than double the 2006 figure
and is expected to increase again in Summer 2009.
Intrinsica supplied software development services to assist DRS in
the development of e-Marker®, an electronic marking suite designed
specifically for Award Bodies. e-Marker® functions by connecting
back-end systems to secure web-based solutions providing capabilities
such as secure authorisation and authentication, tracking/resolution,
data matching, dynamic real time information and form-based data
collection. The purpose and key benefit of this system is that it
increases efficiency, accuracy, security, and standardisation of
marking procedures.
