Exam and Assessment Moderation

Structured moderation with a complete, audit-ready paper trail.

Overview

Pre-delivery and post-delivery moderation is a TEQSA expectation but a procedurally weak point in many institutions. Email-based review, version sprawl across shared drives, and undocumented moderator decisions create real risk during external review.

Poios provides a structured moderation workflow with assigned roles, deadline management, comment threading anchored to specific assessment items, and an immutable record of every change accepted, rejected, or revised. Every moderation outcome is exportable as a single audit-ready artefact.

The system supports both pre-delivery moderation (validating an assessment before it goes to students) and post-delivery moderation (sample-based review of marked work to validate marker calibration).
