Design and integration of an automated assessment laboratory experiences and guide

The aim of the Automated Assessment Laboratory (AAL) being established at the Curtin Business School (CBS) is to provide lecturers with the opportunity to have essays automatically assessed using MarkIT. This automated essay grading tool is most suited to those units that have large numbers of students. In this contribution, we describe our approach to design and integrate the AAL in the curriculum, report our experiences and provide a guide for other institutions.
