IMPERIAL COLLEGE BUSINESS SCHOOL
Supporting Fair, Consistent Assessment Across a Global Business School
The Challenge
Creating a consistent assessment process across diverse academic programmes.
As Imperial Business School expanded its portfolio of programmes, assessment became increasingly complex.
Different marking models, moderation processes, academic regulations and programme requirements all needed to work together while maintaining fairness, consistency and confidence in every assessment outcome.
The challenge was not simply to digitise marking. It was to create a trusted assessment process that could support academic staff, administrators and students across the entire assessment lifecycle.
Our Approach
Redesigning assessment workflows around people, not processes.
Rather than automating existing administrative tasks, Psycle worked alongside Imperial to understand how academic staff, programme teams and administrators interacted throughout the assessment process.
Every workflow was redesigned around the people using the system, simplifying complex processes while preserving the academic governance, moderation and audit requirements expected of a world-leading business school.
The Solution
Connecting assessment, moderation and academic governance.
Psycle designed and developed a bespoke assessment platform that connected every stage of the marking lifecycle within a single, integrated system.
The platform brought together assignment management, first and second marking, moderation, grade calculations, feedback, academic workflows and results publication within one secure platform, integrated with Imperial's wider learning environment to support staff and students throughout the assessment process.
Technology included
The result was a connected assessment platform that delivered greater consistency, stronger academic governance and a simpler experience for everyone involved in the assessment process.
