The challenges of introducing new technologies globally

National assessment bodies worldwide are making use of electronic marking of candidates', ,examination scripts to create a positive shift in the reliability of marking outcomes.Significant improvement in the accuracy of marking has been achieved with many of the traditional constraints of paper-based marking being removed.In the UK, all Unitary Awarding Bodies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have been using electronic marking, with Scotland taking up the approach in the near future. In 2011, upwards of 9m scripts will be processed in this manner. The paper will discuss the technologies used to improve both operational and marking outcomes and the challenges associated with its implementation internationally.
