Whiteboard marking guide
Marking on a whiteboard is opt-in and off by default. Turn it on from the Presentation menu → Marking. Turning it off later hides marks without deleting them.
What a mark scheme is
An exam question and a rubric criterion are the same thing: a label with a maximum (for example Q1 /25 or AO2 Analysis /15). Optional notes remind you what full marks look like — they are not a levels-and-descriptors grid.

How totals are computed
- Part awards sum into the question.
- The question is capped at its maximum.
- Group rules (for example best 2 of 4) run on those capped totals.
- Ungrouped items and group subtotals add to the scheme total.
You never retype a final score — the total is always derived. Marks stay on this board; nothing is sent to a gradebook or an LMS.
Document boards
Create a Portrait board for A4-style documents. Use Document view to scroll pages continuously, drop rich comment pins (each comment opens a full whiteboard page), and export a marked PDF.
PDF import is raster-based: annotation is spatial ink over page images. Text selection and searchable export are not available in this version.
