Getting Started - Bud Mark

The following article explains how to get started with Bud Mark, along with some practical tips!  

 

Good to know

Bud Mark is a revolutionary tool, with intentional focus on vocational qualifications, to support the timely process of evaluating learners work and writing feedback, all within a timely manner to ensure Learners stay engaged. 

It is designed with the human in the loop, with checks and balances to ensure humans are verifying the output before giving it to your Learners. 

Rubrics are at the heart of it, they ensure the AI is standardised and aligned with your expectations. The more detail and better-quality Rubrics, the better the evaluation and feedback will be.

All information is stored within the UK, and is not shared with third party AI models or tools. 

 

Getting Started

Once signed up, Bud will:

  1. Create your Bud Mark tenant, once setup your primary owner will receive a registration email.

Best Practices

To make the most out of Bud Mark, we think you should: 

  1. Verify your Rubric before allowing trainers at it by using Bud Marks ‘Test submissions’. Using existing Learners real work is a great way to do this!
  2. Train your teams on Bud Mark. Ensure trainers understand it is creating that initial set of feedback, and they should still review it.
  3. Understand Bud Marks limitations. Bud Mark is best placed to evaluate long-form answers and essays, especially where you’re evaluating Learners knowledge.
  4. Provide your Rubrics with detailed descriptions, to ensure it hits the mark.
  5. Checkout the great information and guidance within our Bud Mark Knowledgebase
