Common questions
From schools considering Alama.
How do teachers get started?
A teacher enters the marking scheme, scans the scripts with the Alama app and reviews flagged answers. Most of the setup is the marking scheme you already write.
Does every teacher need a phone?
One phone per subject team is enough to start. Schools with many scripts can use a batch scanner.
What does it cost a school?
The pilot is free. After that, schools pay a flat fee per student per term for unlimited internal exams.
