This is a useful tool in assessing learning as students have access to their feedback when they want it and can track their progress. Assessment is defined by the Department of education (2009) as ‘the ongoing process of gathering, analysing and reflecting on evidence to make informed and consistent judgements to improve future student learning.’ So Systems such as pro mark book ensure this information to be easily assessable to students as well as having their feedback and...
