At the University of Brighton we have been using a system of anonymity of marking of examinations by using student numbers on the front of exam answer books produced by our own Reprographics Department. I have been asked to investigate commercial systems which involve the concealment of names and theirsubsequent revelation for the preparation of exam board papers.
I have received copies of answer books from CDP Print Managemment with the "Infosafe" system which involves the folding back by the candidate of a full length side strip onto a self-adhesive strip and the "careful" tearing away of the protective strip by the person compiling the mark sheets. This system is supposedly in widespread use. It has been marked as "Patent Pending" for a long time. Perhaps this means that there is not much choice out there (we have rejected the use of corner flaps with lickable gummed corner flaps).
What have your experiences been of using Infosafe from CDP or of alternative commercial products?
Thanks
