This study used a mixed-methods approach to examine how peer feedback affects student confidence during group projects. Survey responses were compared with interview themes to identify patterns across both data sets.

Getting Started

How to Use the Auto-Marking System

Four simple steps to evaluate assignments accurately and consistently.

Capabilities

Key Features

Designed for accurate, fair, and scalable assessment

Performance Band Assessment

Evaluate submissions across predefined performance bands using consistent rubric-aligned scoring.

PDF Rubric Extraction

Automatically extract criteria, performance bands, and requirements from rubric PDFs — no manual setup needed.

Evidence-Based Feedback

Every score is supported with clear evidence from the submission, including structure, citations, and content quality.

Learning Outcomes Integration

Course learning outcomes are automatically mapped to assessment criteria to ensure fair, outcome-driven evaluation.

Scalable for Institutions

Mark large cohorts consistently while reducing lecturer workload and turnaround time.

Audience

Who Is This For?

Built for the entire academic ecosystem

For Students

Receive clear, evidence-backed feedback and fair, transparent grading.

For Lecturers

Save hours of marking time while maintaining consistency across every submission.

For Universities

Deploy scalable, audit-ready assessment across entire cohorts and programmes.

Ready to simplify and standardize assignment marking?

Consistent, rubric-aligned grading at any scale — so you can focus on teaching, not marking.

Common questions

Can AI grade essays reliably?
AI marking is most reliable when it scores against an explicit rubric rather than judging quality in the abstract. AI Sentinels applies your rubric criterion by criterion, so every submission is measured the same way and the marks come with the reasoning behind them. An educator reviews and can override any mark, which keeps accountability with the teacher and makes the tool a first pass rather than the final word.
How does automated marking handle a rubric?
You upload the rubric with your assignment, and each criterion becomes a scoring dimension. The engine assesses every submission against those dimensions, returns a score per criterion with structured feedback, and highlights the strengths and gaps it based each mark on. Applying the same rubric to every script can improve consistency across a cohort and gives markers a common first pass to work from.
Does auto-marking replace the teacher?
No. It produces a first-pass mark and structured feedback that a teacher reviews, adjusts, and approves before anything is released. The value is in removing the repetitive part of marking a large cohort, not in removing judgement. Every mark stays editable and the reasoning is visible, so the educator can see why a score was given before accepting it.
Does it work with Moodle, Canvas, or Google Classroom?
Moodle and our developer API are available today, and Canvas and Google Classroom are on the way. Integration options vary by plan and deployment, so the practical answer depends on which LMS you run and how you want submissions to flow.
