Marking

Why is it that so much of course material from the Open University is delivered online... but that as soon as students have submitted their assignments the people marking the work get buried under paperwork???

I've got about five different systems to deal with for marking.  Paperwork explaining the marking guide.  Paperwork to be completed for each student.  Software to be installed to assist with marking.  Website to be referred to to double check course concepts are being applied etc.  Online forums where I can discuss marking issues.

Flip, flip, flippety flip...

I want a marking system, the equivalent of a VLE, where everything lives under a nice little roof and I don't have to faff and flip between system.  Here endeth today's moaning.  :o)
