I have made a quick slideshow tour of some of the functionality of the alpha version of the FullMarks site. The site is extremely simple yet offers powerful reports to help support learners effectively, especially in the current environment in South Africa where classes are large and teachers don’t have enough time to consider individual needs.
FullMarks is rapidly gaining momentum with two schools so far giving permission for their teachers to participate in an uploading sprint, one of them even told me that they have a list of teachers who are willing to participate.
I’m charging on ahead with development of the open assessment bank. We will be calling it FullMarks and the most important feature will be that teachers can actively participate.

FullMarks is a project designed to complement my other Fellowship projects, the suite of which are aimed at providing tools that support teachers in the classroom through collaboration and sharing. The provision of a simple, intuitive tool and the necessary support to share assessment items, generate tests, and capture and analyse the results will support the continuous improvement of South African educators, improve the overall level/standard of assessments, and allow for targeted support for learners.
