WA School Curriculum and
Standards Authority and NESA
Instantaneous marker reliability and activity feedback allows chief markers and team leaders to monitor each marker's performance and take corrective action immediately if needed. As a mature adopter of information technology to achieve its goals, the Authority has been able to leverage MarkManager to provide an accurate and reliable marking service.
CASE STUDY
WA School Curriculum
and Standards Authority
Following a successful tender, the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) became the supplier of an online marking service to the Western Australia School Curriculum and Standards Authority ("the Authority").
The solution for the Authority encompasses operation of its MarkManager system on a Software as a Service (SaaS) basis, advice and guidance, support, training, customization, implementation planning and project management. The MarkManager solution is hosted on NESA's servers in a secure data centre and provided to the Authority through a secure Internet connection.
The Authority uses MarkManager to mark examination responses for the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) examinations, which take place at the end of year 12. The on-screen marking process begins in earnest with the scanning of completed WACE "scripts" (examination response booklets) submitted by candidates. In a controlled online environment, the Authority's markers access the scripts remotely over the Internet for marking.

NSW Education Standards
Authority (NESA)
The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) replaced the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards NSW (BOSTES) on 1 January 2017. NESA is the certifying authority responsible for the content of syllabus materials, registration of non-government schools, and delivery of high school examinations for New South Wales, the most populous state in Australia. LANSA's development and integration tools have been at the heart of the Board's IT infrastructure since 1989.
NESA chose LANSA to develop and deliver an onscreen marking application as part of its eAssessment program. Onscreen marking allows markers to view and mark onscreen a scanned image of students' written exam responses, or the students' responses entered or spoken online.
Mitra Bhar, Manager IT at NESA, says "It is important that we continue to investigate how advances in technology can provide improvements in our examination and assessment programs. LANSA's technology and the IBM i platform help us to provide accurate, highly reliable and secure solutions to meet the requirements of our core business. LANSA's technology and the IBM i platform help us to provide accurate, highly reliable and secure solutions"

Video of NESA’s experience
and commitment to MarkManager
In this five-minute video NESA (previously known as BOSTES) markers, senior markers and supervisors of marking explain the benefits of MarkManager, which they have experienced first-hand, such as fairer, smarter and more efficient marking, marking from home and real-time management of the marking process.
The President of NESA also outlines the benefits of MarkManager from his point of view and the solution's commercialisation program.

Video of initial Board of Studies (now known as NESA) experience with on-screen marking
'Blown away', 'instantaneous revelation' and 'just the natural progression' are some of the terms senior markers use to describe the Board's ground-breaking onscreen marking system in 2009.
Their experiences are captured in a six-minute video posted on NESA’s Markers Online webpages and designed to help other School Certificate and HSC markers understand a little more about this exciting new process.
