Exam coursework marked online - Katherine Sellgren, BBC News

Schools in England and Wales could soon be sending pupils' coursework to exam boards electronically. Currently exam centres have to hand in coursework on paper to be "moderated" by examiners. Now examiners at Edexcel, OCR, AQA and WJEC have agreed to look at ways of assessing coursework online. Technically-savvy schools have long complained they are wasting time printing off coursework they have marked electronically. Nathan Jenkins, head of technology at John Cabot City Technology College in Bristol, said his pupils presented their GCSE and A-level coursework to him electronically.
