Support for marking assessment

8 August 2025

Marking online via the Akoraka | Learn course page provides numerous benefits for markers and students throughout the assessment process including submission, marking, and provision of feedback and grades.

We have several resources to support you throughout the marking process. These resources are designed to help you use your time more effectively and efficiently, and improve the feedback you provide to students.
