How online exam grading works

1

Input collection

Students responses are gathered through various input methods, such as text boxes, multiple choice selection, file uploads or audio/video recording.

2

Automatic grading

Student responses on multiple choice, fill in the blank, rank order etc are automatically marked against predefined correct responses, ensuring accurate evaluation.

3

Manual grading tools

Written and recorded answers can be reviewed against a set criteria or marking rubric, directly on the Synap system, with automatically calculated grades.

4

Feedback and scoring

Students can receive instant results and feedback, helping them understand performance and areas for improvement, or defer results for later release if manual input is needed.

5

Customisation and adjustments

Configure marking schemes, grading logic and grade boundaries to match your policies, with the option to make audited manual adjustments when necessary.

Custom grading
