What is eCRS? eCRS is an online application used to provide marks/comments and other required information to CCEA as part of the moderation process. Removes the need to use hardcopy: candidate record sheets; OMR TAC1 form; TAC2 form (Internal Standardisation information/confirmation). Provides the facility to: record candidates’ marks with automatic totalling; confirm internal standardisation has been carried out; confirm centre authentication of controlled assessment/coursework; capture signed confirmation from candidates to authenticate their work; link teacher reference codes (e.g. teacher’s initials) with candidates; validate submissions.
Why use eCRS? What are the key benefits? Reduces paperwork. Removes any totalling errors. Validates all required data. Improves the process for centres and CCEA. Reduces queries going back to centres. Involves the right people. Prepares centres and CCEA to deal with future technology changes. Allows teachers to complete controlled assessment administration earlier. Compulsory use of eCRS has been phased in since summer 2010. The application has been developed based on the feedback received from teachers. You will have the opportunity to provide your own feedback on eCRS after the summer 2018 series.
