Essay Workshop automates the process of grading essays, videos, audio, and other multi-media assets. Using the Internet, you can leverage graders from around the world to quickly and efficiently complete the scoring process of your exam.

The ITS essay scoring system provides Internet based tools used by the grading company. Authorized graders can log into the system and request a result to score. The essay, video, or other asset is displayed in their browser, along with a scoring rubric and instruction to ensure that the scoring process is consistent. Once the result has been scored, the grader enters the score and additional information, and saves the data back to the system. They can then request another result for scoring.

The essay scoring system will ensure that results are scored by the number of desired graders. If the two grades are significantly different, the system will automatically ensure that the result is graded for a third time. This system will also work with computer-based scoring. The system can compare the computer score with the grader score, and if different, ensure that the result is scored again by another grader.

There are significant advantages to using the ITS essay scoring system. By automating the process, your company can guarantee that the results are scored within a desired time frame, say two weeks. Not only will the system prioritize the scoring process, it will also provide status reports showing where the result process is at any moment in time. In addition, time is saved by automating the process, and instantly delivering results to the graders.

The ITS scoring system provides a management tool that will support multiple scoring companies. The system will track the work by all graders, including identifying graders that have the most variance with other graders. Complete reports will be available to both you and the scoring companies showing detailed reports of the graders performance and volumes.
