Faster results for theory papers and large classes.
Alama helps departments mark theory papers and continuous assessment for classes of hundreds, with consistent grading across every marker.
What Alama does for universities
Built around the way you already run exams.
Large classes
Mark hundreds of scripts per course without splitting the work across tired markers.
Continuous assessment
Turn around tests and assignments quickly enough to be useful during the semester.
Consistency between markers
Every script is marked against the same scheme, and moderation shows where markers differ.
Records for review
A written reason for every mark makes result reviews and appeals faster.

You keep your exams, schemes and examiners. Alama takes on the first pass.
