From a class project to proof an employer trusts
Seven steps. Six happen inside your college. The last one is public, and only if the teacher approves and the student agrees.
Six steps on your servers, one in public
On your servers
- 01 Set the project Brief and scorecard
- 02 Hand it out One student or a whole year
- 03 Submit The actual work
- 04 First draft score Ready in minutes
- 05 Teacher decides The real mark
- 06 Professional checks Named, from industry
Published only if the teacher approves and the student agrees
In public
- 07 Publish Anyone can open it and check it
Steps 1 to 6 stay on your own servers. Student work, drafts, and reviewer comments never leave.
A student who does not want their work published still gets the mark and the feedback.
The same work gets looked at three times before anything is public
-
Set the project
TeacherA teacher writes the task, the deadline, and what students must hand in. Then a simple scorecard: what is being marked, and what good work looks like at each level. Students see the scorecard before they start.
Why it works this way
Written once, reused every year. Two students in different sections get marked against the same standard, and a mark can be explained rather than defended.
-
Hand it out
TeacherThe project goes to one student, a group, or a whole cohort, with the scorecard attached.
Why it works this way
When students cannot see the standard, personal taste decides what counts as good work. Here they can see it from day one.
-
Students submit the work
StudentStudents hand in whatever the brief asked for. Documents, written answers, forms, drawings, and supporting files. Drafts and earlier versions stay on your installation.
Why it works this way
Everything that follows points back at something the student actually made. That is the difference between this and a resume.
-
A first draft score, ready in minutes
The software AIEvery submission comes back with a score on each line of the scorecard, plus written comments pointing at the exact passages that earned it. The draft reaches nobody, including the student, until a teacher has read it.
Why it works this way
One teacher cannot hand mark three hundred projects with written feedback. This hands them a draft to correct instead of a blank page.
-
The teacher decides the real mark
Teacher FacultyThe work and the draft sit side by side. The teacher can accept, change, or replace any score, and add their own comments. Every change is saved next to what the draft originally said.
Why it works this way
The mark is your college's, not the software's. An employer can see that a person read the work and where they disagreed.
-
A working professional checks it
Practitioner PractitionerThe teacher invites someone from industry by email. Usually an alumnus, a visiting lecturer, or someone from the advisory board. They get an account in their own name, list their credentials, see only the work they were asked to review, and score it against the same scorecard.
Why it works this way
Your college already brings these people in for juries and vivas. Today their opinion is spoken once and gone by evening. Here it is recorded, signed, and useful to a student for years.
-
Approve, and publish only if the student agrees
Teacher, then studentThe teacher approves the finished record. If the student agrees, it goes live at their permanent web address. If not, the student still keeps the mark and the feedback, and nothing leaves the college.
Why it works this way
Two people have to say yes. Your college confirms the mark is right. The student decides whether it is public, and can change their mind later.
Three things no college can switch off
The software makes the marking affordable. The teacher makes it legitimate. The professional makes it worth something to a hiring manager.
A draft score never reaches a student on its own
Every route to a student, to a mark, or to the public page passes through a teacher who can change it. There is no setting that turns this off. That is what lets an academic council approve the use of AI here.
The model and its version are saved with every draft.
The teacher's judgment beats the software, every time
Every score can be changed by the teacher who runs the course, up or down, on every line. No reviewer outranks them. ReadyHo does not issue a certificate of its own. It publishes yours, so the exam board, the appeal route, and responsibility for the mark all stay with you.
The reviewing teacher is named. Every change is saved.
The outside professional is always named
Every external reviewer holds an account in their own name and lists the credentials that carry weight in their field. A lawyer's year of enrolment. An architect's registration. Shared or departmental logins are not supported, because an employer cannot tell a twenty year veteran from a second year junior behind an anonymous account.
The professional is named, with their stated credentials.
What is in a finished record
Nothing in a record is written after the fact. Every part came out of one of the seven steps.
- The brief and the scorecard it was marked against
- The work the student handed in
- All three assessments, with their scores
- The professional's name and stated credentials
- Your college's confirmation that the mark is right
- A link back to your own copy, so anyone can check it against the source
Who confirms what
We confirm the record is genuine and has not been changed since it was issued. Your college confirms the mark is right. Two claims, from two parties, stated separately, so an employer knows exactly who is standing behind what.
What the student controls
Three settings, each one separate and each one reversible. Kept private, which is the default. Given a public link. Or listed in employer search. A student can withdraw at any time and the page comes down.
What never leaves your college
Drafts, earlier versions, comments between reviewers, and every student who did not agree to publish. Only finished, approved records go public.
Start with one course
Nothing here is automatic that should be decided. Nothing is published that a student did not agree to publish. Start with one course and one professional, and roll it out across departments when you are ready.
It is free and open source, and runs on your own servers across every department.
