The Marking App
Understand what feedback you're giving most, track marking pace, and calibrate your team's consistency.
Click the button in the page toolbar to open the analytics panel for that page. Analytics are also available at the folder and group level - open a folder or group and look for the same button.
At the top of the analytics panel you'll see headline numbers for the current scope (page, folder, or group):
Total comments - the number of comments in the bank.
Total copies - how many times any comment has been copied to the clipboard across all time.
Distinct copiers - the number of unique markers who have copied at least one comment. On a group page this tells you how many team members are actively using the bank.
Search misses - how many times a marker searched for something but got no results. A high number here usually means the bank is missing comments that people need.
Top comments - a bar chart of the most frequently copied comments. The length of each bar represents its total copy count. Use this to identify which feedback is most common - those are the mistakes students are making most often.
Copy trend - a line chart showing copies per day over time. Peaks correspond to marking periods. Use this to understand marking pace and see how activity is distributed across the team.
Bank trend - a line chart showing how the number of comments in the bank has grown over time. A flat line means no new comments have been added recently; a steep rise means the bank is actively being built out.
AI grade distribution - a breakdown of comments by AI quality grade (Good / Needs work / Poor). If a large proportion are graded Poor, the bank may benefit from a review pass using the AI rewrite feature.
When analytics are opened at the folder or group level, a Markers table shows each member's copy count and what proportion of the total copies they account for. This gives coordinators a quick view of who is using the bank most actively.
The consistency metric compares which comments different markers are copying. High consistency means the team is converging on the same feedback for the same issues. Low consistency may indicate that markers are interpreting the rubric differently and a calibration session could help.
Tip: Check the top comments chart after every marking round. The highest-copied comments point directly to the most common student mistakes - if the same issue keeps appearing, it may be worth addressing in class before the next assessment.
Note: Analytics are recorded each time a comment is copied to the clipboard. Viewing, hovering, or searching a comment does not count as usage.
