I've developed a tool for assessment which has proved useful. It provides a means by which you can quickly and easily create pro-forma comments and mark values and then insert them into any document. The comments are entered into a number of categories and given marks (if you want to). Then, when you select them they are copied into the bottom area and the total calculated.  Pressing Clear gets rid of the comments and sets the total to 0. The comment text is automatically loaded into the paste buffer so that you can just paste it into any Windows application. The comments are remembered automatically, and there are 6 pages available.  You can download an installer for the program here.

I'm presently half way through the award period, and have developed the first phase of the work. You can find out what it is all about here.

This journal will document project progress.

I will soon be releasing a kind of Technology Preview of the Marking Assistant program for anyone with a Tablet PC to download and play with. Download releases will be announced in this journal and posted here. There is also a discussion forum here.
