UK Pilot Results
One time setup. Consistent marking across every marker.
The module leader configures Eduface once using the assignment brief and rubric. Every marker on the team then works from the same grading agent eliminating the inconsistency that comes from different people interpreting the same criteria differently.
01
Module leader configures the grading agent
The module leader uploads the assignment brief, rubric, and any additional guidance once. Eduface uses this to calibrate the grading agent specifically to that assignment.
02
Every marker works from the same setup
All markers whether one or twenty use the identical grading agent. No interpretation gaps, no personal bias drift. The same standard applied to every submission.
03
Markers review, not redo
In our UK pilot, markers changed an average of just 5% of each final grade. The agent does the heavy lifting; lecturers apply their professional judgement where it matters.

Critical Analysis: Feedback & Learning in Practice
s4436792 · Assignment 2
The evidence from placement both confirms and complicates the theoretical literature. Black and Wiliam's (1998) foundational claim that formative feedback can produce significant learning gains was visible in the guided group interaction described above encouraging.
However, it would be misleading to present this as a uniform picture. On many occasions, the structural constraints identified by Henderson et al. (2019) were clearly operative. In a class of thirty-two pupils,
individualised dialogic feedback was inherently limited.
Whole-class feedback, while efficient, often lacked the specificity necessary to address individual
misconceptions…
