What it does
Mark against a rubric (2–8 levels, up to 12 criteria), a checklist, an NCEA marking schedule with Achieved, Merit and Excellence evidence, or an answer key with marks. Add work by pasting, uploading PDF, Word or text files, or taking a photo of handwritten work. Up to 60 pieces in one session.
For each piece you get an overall result and summary, a level for each criterion with quotes from the work as evidence, strengths, next steps written to the student, and how confident Pip is. Ask for a second opinion to see where two markings differ. Export the results as CSV.
