WISEflow Marking Studio
An LKTI-enabled modular marking suite extending your LMS/VLE.
Assessment is often the most consequential thing that happens at education institutions. And yet most run it on workarounds.
Integrity tools outside the workflow. Feedback quality that is not calibrated and secured for consistency. Delivery held together by separate tools and habits. Marking Studio fixes the assessment layer connecting to your existing LMS as a modular add-on. Pick the capability that solves your most pressing problem first. Everything else can follow.

KEY CAPABILITIES
Inline annotation, audio and text comments, rubric scoring, double‑marking and moderation workflows.
Value: Professional judgement preserved whilst enabling faster, more consistent marking with a rich evidence trail.
Over 50 question types, content bank and item reuse, QTI import capabilities, detailed analytics, and secure delivery with browser lockdown.
Value: Robust objective testing alongside essays, autoscoring, efficient reuse across cohorts, and lockdown security when needed.
Marking Studio brings together everything an institution needs to make feedback consistent, efficient, and defensible — whether or not AI is part of the picture.
AI-assisted feedback Drafts grade justifications and feedback aligned to your rubrics and marking guidelines. The assessor reviews, edits, and approves all outputs before anything reaches a student. EU-region processing on AWS infrastructure.
General feedback options Templates for common comments, audio feedback, and structured comment frameworks. Tools that support every marker — including those who prefer to work without AI — and reinforce that feedback quality is a workflow problem, not just a technology one.
Sharing and calibration Colleagues can review each other's feedback before it's released to students. This matters most in programmes with mixed marking teams — ensuring a first-year essay gets comparable feedback whether it's marked by a senior lecturer or a postgrad teaching assistant. Feedback calibration is one of the most important governance challenges in HE. This addresses it directly.
Value: Reclaim time to teach. Maintain consistency with standards. Build student trust through transparency. Ensure compliance and control.
Integrated semantic similarity check (paraphrasing) alongside classic string matching, configurable source pools, and reports inline in the marking tool.
Value: Integrity checks in context, clearer interpretation of paraphrasing and self‑plagiarism, with full institutional data control.
For programmes where handwriting still matters: exams, maths, science, language - Marking Studio brings paper-based assessment into a fully digital marking flow without changing how students submit.
Scan, upload and auto-sort Unique per-candidate identification codes mean scripts are automatically matched to the right student on upload. No manual sorting, no mismatches, no administrative chaos.
Handwritten formulae to digital LaTeX Marking Studio automatically converts handwritten mathematical and scientific notation into digital LaTeX. Maths and science scripts become fully digital without manual transcription and without losing the integrity of the original submission.
Value: Keep handwriting assessments. Lose the administrative chaos. Digitised distribution, marking, appeals, and a complete audit trail from submission to final mark.
DESIGNED FOR HOW MARKING ACTUALLY WORKS
Assessment quality depends on more than rubrics and criteria. It relies on clear workflows, shared understanding, and tools that support professional judgement.
Marking Studio is built around real academic marking practices, giving assessors a focused space to review submissions, comment with intent, calibrate decisions, and finalise marks with confidence. It fits naturally into existing teaching and assessment setups as an LTI-enabled enhancement to your LMS/VLE so markers can work where they already are, with less friction and better flow. And this should be regardless of paper-based submissions, the need for originality checks, use of advanced assessment types or help with feedback.
Marking Studio is a marker‑first assessment tool that plugs into your LMS via LTI 1.3, improving feedback, integrity, and efficiency without replacing your LMS.
WHO IS MARKING STUDIO FOR?
- Institutions managing a mixed assessment portfolio; advanced assessment, originality checks, paper submissions, and digital coursework without fragmenting workflows
- Marking teams who want a marker-first environment that supports professional judgement, structured feedback, and efficient throughput
- Leaders responsible for consistent outcomes across programmes, including moderation, second marking, and sampling where required
- Integrity-focused stakeholders who need originality checks embedded in the same assessment flow, not as a separate process
- Digital learning and IT teams who prefer modular, LTI-enabled tools that extend the LMS/VLE and allow capability “profiles” to fit local need

BUILD TO FIT INTO YOUR ASSESSMENT ECO SYSTEM
Marking Studio is designed to work seamlessly alongside your Learning Management System. It strengthens existing workflows for submission, paper-based and digital exams, originality checking, and feedback without forcing institutions to redesign how assessments are created or delivered.
The result is a coherent assessment journey from submission to marking to feedback, supported by modular capabilities that respect academic practice and scale across diverse assessment formats.

Start with one module. Run a pilot in your own environment. No procurement cycle, no platform commitment.COMMON QUESTIONS FROM HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Marking Studio is LTI-enabled, meaning it can be launched directly from your LMS/VLE in the right course context. Markers do not need to “switch systems” to start marking — they access a dedicated marking workspace from the familiar environment, while the LMS/VLE continues to be the administrative backbone for teaching and course delivery.
Marker-first means the marking experience is designed around how academics mark, not around administrative forms. Marking Studio prioritises a focused flow for:
- Reviewing submissions efficiently
- Commenting and annotating with clarity
- Applying criteria and rubrics where relevant
- Calibrating decisions across marking teams
- Finalising marks with confidence
The aim is to reduce friction and increase consistency without forcing a rigid “one way to mark”.
Yes. Marking Studio is designed to support assessment diversity without fragmenting your process. Institutions can run a coherent marking journey across formats such as:
- Digital submissions (assignments, projects, portfolios)
- Paper-based workflows (where required)
- More complex or advanced assessment scenarios (e.g., richer evaluation structures)
The goal is to avoid separate tools and disconnected processes for each assessment type.
No. Marking Studio is modular by design. Institutions can select a “profile” that matches current needs and maturity, then expand over time. This makes it easier to:
- Start with core marking workflows
- Add capabilities such as originality checking, AI-assisted feedback, or extended review workflows
- Scale from one department to institution-wide adoption without a “big bang” change
Marking Studio can bring originality checks into the same assessment flow, so integrity signals are available where decisions are made. This avoids the common problem of integrity processes living in a separate tool and becoming a disconnected, manual step.
For institutions, this helps standardise practice across courses and programmes while supporting a consistent, defensible process.
AI-assisted feedback is positioned as support, not substitution. It can help markers:
- Improve feedback consistency and clarity
- Speed up repetitive elements of commentary
- Maintain quality at scale (especially in large cohorts)
Crucially, Marking Studio is built to support professional judgement — the marker remains responsible for decisions and final feedback.
Marking quality often depends on team alignment and clear governance. Marking Studio supports this through workflows and structures that make collaboration workable, including:
- Calibration support (shared standards, exemplars, alignment practices)
- Moderation and review steps where required
- Clear handovers and visibility across marking teams
- Traceability of how outcomes were reached (useful for QA and consistency)
This helps module and programme leads maintain standards across cohorts and markers.
Institutions typically gain three things:
- Consistency at scale – shared workflows and structures across courses and programmes
- Transparency and traceability – clearer oversight and auditability without creating extra admin burden
- One coherent assessment journey – connecting submission, marking, integrity checks, and feedback in a more unified way, even when assessment formats vary widely
This is particularly valuable when assessment needs differ across faculties but the institution still wants common standards.
