👋 Say Goodbye To Marking!
CSUK:Academy & CSUK:ReviseCS Now Feature Full AI Marking, Feedback & Real-Time Analytics
If there’s one universal truth in teaching, it’s this:
Marking steals hours… and teachers deserve them back.
Over the past few years, we’ve heard the same message loudly and clearly from teachers across the UK:
Workload is unsustainable, the marking never ends, and there simply isn’t enough time to give students the meaningful feedback they need.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce a major breakthrough that changes everything.
CSUK:Academy and CSUK:ReviseCS now both feature fully integrated AI marking, instant feedback, and auto-analytics — across curriculum lesson missions, written exam-style questions, and formal assessments.
This isn’t “AI-lite”.
This is real marking, real feedback, and real time saved.
💚 Why This Matters: Teacher Wellbeing at the Centre
Marking is one of the biggest drains on teacher wellbeing.
It eats into evenings, weekends, and the mental headspace teachers desperately need to recharge.
By automating the heavy lifting, teachers can now:
✓ Spend less time marking and more time teaching
✓ Give high-quality feedback instantly — without lifting a pen
✓ Track learning in real time without paperwork
✓ Reclaim evenings and weekends from relentless marking piles
This is about reducing burnout, strengthening teaching, and putting wellbeing first.
⚡ Instant Feedback = Accelerated Learning
Research is clear:
The faster the feedback, the deeper the learning.
With our new AI features:
✨ Students get feedback the moment they submit.
✨ Marking points turn green/red instantly.
✨ Rubric-based tasks update visually.
✨ A score is calculated automatically.
✨ Personalised feedback is generated on the spot.
Students don't wait days (or weeks!) to know how they performed.
They see exactly what went well — and what to improve — immediately.
📊 Real-Time Analytics Without Any Marking
Because AI marks everything the moment students submit, your curriculum progress data becomes:
✔ Accurate
✔ Live
✔ Complete
✔ Effortless
No more chasing students to “mark as complete”.
No more checking screens one by one.
No more data gaps because marking wasn’t finished in time.
Tasks now auto-complete the second all answers are submitted.
Your progress tables populate instantly — and correctly.
For leadership, this means powerful live insights into class performance.
For teachers, it means zero admin.
