Teaching for a partner university
Show your partner, mark by mark, that second marking and agreement happened. Signed evidence, examiner packs and a read-only partner portal.
Markwise
Marking and Moderation Software.
For colleges and universities that need to prove, script by script, that marking meets the standard.
Solutions
Built around what your provider needs to prove.
Academic quality still runs on spreadsheets and email. Markwise replaces that with one workflow, configured to your rubric, your cycles and your staff.
Moderation and quality offices
See who is waiting on whom, catch thin or inconsistent feedback before release, and check grades against your learning platform.
Running a marking cycle
Set up a cycle with your own rubric, allocate markers fairly by your rules, and chase the work to the finish line from one board.
What’s inside
Every stage of marking. One place.
01
Cycle set-up
Modules, assessments, deadlines and your own rubric, uploaded and checked before anyone marks.
02
Fair allocation
Import from your learning platform. Second markers are allocated by your rules, and the database enforces them.
03
Progress at a glance
A stage board and KPIs that show who is waiting on whom, and what is overdue.
04
Second marking
Blind marks, agreement, a meeting log and sign-off by both markers.
05
Live presentations
Two markers score at once, with sliders, session times and a running order.
06 · Enterprise
Quality engine
Flags thin feedback on high marks, wording that contradicts the mark, and reused comments. Grades are held until a flag is resolved.
07
Evidence & partners
Signed, fingerprinted PDFs and examiner packs. A read-only partner portal is part of Enterprise.
Why it matters
Audit-ready by design. Each institution’s data is kept separate at database level. Filed records are frozen and fingerprinted, and a grades check catches mismatches with your learning platform before anyone else does.
Three tiers
Start simple. Grow into more.
Every tier is tailored to your institution’s size and process. Pricing on request.
Essentials
For providers whose partners allow no system access. It runs on exports, so there is nothing to integrate.
- Cycle set-up with your own rubric
- Fair allocation by your rules
- Blind second marking, meeting log and sign-off
- Live presentation marking
- A signed, fingerprinted PDF for every script
- Progress board and overdue tracking
- Grades export and a check against your learning platform
Integrated
For providers that run their own learning platform and Microsoft 365.
- Everything in Essentials
- Automatic export sync from your learning platform
- Filing to SharePoint or OneDrive
- Microsoft sign-in
- Feedback PDF attached in the learning platform
Planned. Needs your platform administrator’s consent, and is scoped with you.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
What is marking and moderation software?
Software that manages how student work is marked and checked: who marks what, blind second marking, agreement between markers, moderation and quality checks, and the evidence that it all happened. Markwise does this for colleges and universities in one workflow.
What is second marking?
Two markers assess the same work, usually blind to each other’s marks, then agree a final mark and record it. Markwise keeps both sets of blind marks, the agreement meeting log and both sign-offs, then files a signed PDF. Read our guide to second marking.
Does Markwise replace our learning platform?
No. It sits beside it. You import your submissions and class lists, mark and moderate in Markwise, then export agreed grades and check them against what was entered in your learning platform.
Can Markwise handle live presentations?
Yes. Two markers score a live presentation at the same time without seeing each other’s marks, with a running order and session times, then agree the result.
Can we use our own rubric?
Yes. Upload your rubric as a spreadsheet. Markwise checks it before marking starts, and shows the matching band wording as markers enter marks.
Where is our data kept?
In the UK. Each institution’s data is separated at database level, and filed records are frozen and fingerprinted. See our Trust & security page for detail.
Who is Markwise for?
Private higher-education providers that teach for a partner university, universities and colleges with moderation and quality teams, and module leaders who run marking cycles.
