The term electronic management of assessment (EMA) refers to the way that technology can be used 'across the assessment lifecycle to support the electronic submission of assignments as well as marking and feedback'. (JISC EMA Guide). The terms "online submission" and "online marking" are also commonly used:
Follow our instructions on getting started with EMA.
There is currently no single tool which supports all EMA requirements, so workflows are available using Blackboard and Turnitin Feedback Studio. Each of these tools has pros and cons depending on requirements. For guidance on supported and recommended marking workflows see EMA guides. If you are considering using online marking please contact the Digital Education Office, who will be able to provide advice on the most appropriate tool.
If you are marking or administering marking online please see the Safety and Health services workplace guidance on using display screen equipment.
The University of York has some useful guidance about reading on screen.
The DEO can offer training for administrative staff and markers. Contact the DEO to discuss your requirements.
JISC has worked with several institutions on EMA and evaluated these projects. They have summarised some of the benefits for students and benefits for staff.
