How it works?

01-ANSWER SCRIPT AND QUESTION PAPER DESIGNING

In collaboration with BISE-Peshawar, RedMarker Systems designed an appropriate digital answer script that satisfied the requirements of both BISE-Peshawar and RedMarker Systems’ rMarker. The question paper was also redesigned to align with the newly designed answer sheet.

02-DESIGNING OF RUBRIC

RedMarker Systems held a detailed meeting with subject specialists that set the exam paper to formulate rubric usage for the allocated subject/ exam papers. These rubrics were later used to ensure e-markers correctly mark students’ responses.

03- INVIGILATION STAFF TRAINING

The invigilation staff needs to be accustomed to the new answer sheets as they will eventually guide students to appropriately fill out all the required details. For this purpose, free training was imparted by BISE, Peshawar, to ensure all invigilating staff understood the new answer scripts before the exam conduction.

04- E-MARKER TRAININGS

With the introduction of rMarker as a tool to mark students’ responses online and onscreen, teachers were trained to mark answer scripts efficiently. This training was held at BISE Peshawar where selected teachers were given hands-on training and experience using rMarker.

05- EXAMS CONDUCT AND STUDENT TRAINING

For each exam conducted within the scope of this pilot study, 15 minutes were reserved before the commencement of the exam for the invigilators to guide students in properly filling out all the required details. This process was essential to ensure students’ answer sheets were rightly associated with their roll numbers to remove any chances of errors.

06- SORTING, CUTTING & SCANNING OF ANSWER SCRIPTS

Once BISE Peshawar received all answer scripts, a team of experts in sorting, cutting, and scanning from RedMarker Systems was sent to organize this process at a secure location provided by BISE Peshawar within their premises. Strict controls were set out to ensure students’ secrecy, security, and anonymity while maintaining efficiency and professionalism.

07- E-MARKING

All e-markers were registered with RedMarker Systems and were given their unique login details well before the e marking process began. All e-markers began marking exams as instructed by BISE Peshawar and completed all batches within the period specified.

08- RESULT GENERATION

As one of the key features of rMarker, all results are compiled in real time and can be retrieved at any given time to generate results. These results can be of a particular student, class-wise, examination centre-wise, subject-wise, school-wise, geographical location-wise, etc. Accurate results were generated in our pilot project.

09- COMPLEX MICRO-LEVEL DATA ANALYSIS

For questions that require rubric-based marking, e-markers were compelled to grade students’ responses according to the pre-defined rubric set at the time of question paper making. This data was then represented in a structured form for another macro/ micro level data analysis essential for policy making.
