How a Stack of Essays Gets Marked
Photograph Each Essay
Open the camera page on your phone from the code on your screen and shoot each page. Pages land in the batch as you go, and a landscape page turns with one tap.
Talk It Through
Open the essay on your computer and say what you would write in the margin. One recording for the whole essay, or a short clip on one spot.
Comments, Placed
Your recording becomes numbered comments in your Comment Style, pinned to the page. Drag any one to the right spot, add a rubric line, or keep a note to yourself.
What Comes With It
- Your Comment Style, set once and followed in every write-up.
- Rubrics, so a comment can name the criterion it speaks to.
- A link for each student, with the comments on their own pages and your voice where you chose it.
- A PDF of the essay with the comments in the margins, for printing or the gradebook.
- Classes, so each essay matches its student by name.
Student data
What Happens to Student Work
Each line below is true of MAMAKO today. The student data page and the privacy policy carry the rest.
- Photos, recordings and comments are deleted 30 days after you last work on the essay, or once its student link stops working, whichever comes later. The PDF you download is your copy.
- Students open their link without an account. Their names are on your class list and on their essays, and their school emails only on the class list, which goes when you delete the class.
- A writing model turns your recording into comments in your style. It never grades on its own and never sees an essay you did not photograph.
How MAMAKO protects student data has the rest: what is kept, who can see it and for how long. The privacy policy is the full statement.
