    "Student accommodations for online assessments

    • Some students may need additional time to complete assessments. Crowdmark offers several accommodation options that can be set on an individual basis for each assessment. Instructors can modify the due date, timer, and any lateness penalties that may have been applied.
    • Learn how to set up accommodations for students.

    Course level accommodations

    • Instructors can set individual accommodations for students at the course level. This means that you’ll only need to set up an accommodation modifier once, and the extra time will apply to all future assessments.

    Asynchronous online assessments

    • Timed assessments allow instructors to set a fixed amount of time that students can write an assessment, any time between the start date and due date. This allows students the flexibility to complete their work at their convenience within a specific timeframe. When students begin a timed assessment, they need to submit their work before the timer runs out. Instructors can modify the time limit to allow individual students additional time to complete the assessment.

    Proctored sessions for in person assessments

    • Distance education students, co-op students, and students with learning differences often need to write an exam in a different location. In the past, this required a great deal of coordination between instructors and proctors in exam centres or accessibility services. Crowdmark streamlines this process with our proctored sessions workflow for administered assessments.
    • Instructors can invite proctors to an administered assessment by creating a Proctored session. The instructor must choose which students will write the exam remotely, and invite proctors to the exam session. Proctors will receive an email invite to log in to Crowdmark, where they can download and print the booklets for students. After the exam has been administered, the proctor simply scans and uploads completed work to Crowdmark ready for grading."

Artificial Intelligence

Aligning with Queen's policy and guidelines around AI, Crowdmark does not use AI to create feedback on student assignments and does not seek to minimize or replace human-to-human interaction. Feedback on assignments will remain the responsibility of the educator.

Crowdmark only uses AI to automate administrative tasks:

  1. Assign Students to Booklets
    Matches student booklets to student id information on Crowdmark using an AI function called (OCR). 

  2. Marking multiple-choice bubble sheets
    Using  (OCR) technology to sort handwriting samples to mark multiple choice and true/false questions. If the system can’t recognize a given response, the human marker is invited in to moderate those answers.  

Crowdmark's statement on AI

 â€œIn general, we automate anything that does not have bearing on a student’s direct learning experience, such as getting content into the platform or organizing it for grading teams. That’s always been part of our planning. We oppose solutions that automate point values or responses for open response questions. We never want to minimize or replace human-to-human interaction.â€
