Teacher Feedback on Running Paper (Spring 2026)

“It's such a time saver, particularly for formative assessments which we place throughout student workbooks. The fact that students could get instant feedback was superb. I literally clicked, and it emailed students their feedback. I loved it.”

Evaluation Feedback (Running Paper Pilot 2025)

“The detailed feedback for students and the quick turnaround for marking has been great.”

How does it work?

Using advanced scanning and handwriting recognition technology, Running Paper allows teachers to:

  • Create and upload assessments using existing materials or custom worksheets
  • Scan and process up to 1000 pages of student work in a single upload
  • Automatically allocate, mark, and provide feedback for each student
  • Generate question-level analysis to inform teaching and learning strategies

With over 25 MIS integrations, Running Paper fits seamlessly into school systems and supports a wide range of subjects, including long-form and image-based questions. 

Teachers retain full control over feedback and can review and adjust marks before sharing with students.
 

Running Paper in Action

What is Running Paper?

Running Paper is an AI tool designed to transform the way teachers mark handwritten assessments.

Built specifically for educators, it supports fast, accurate, and personalised feedback - saving valuable time and improving outcomes for students.

With a shared passion and expertise in STEM and innovation, Running Paper was developed by brothers Dr Hamza & Shehryar Mughal, who identified a pressing need in the education sector: increasing teacher workload and challenges with staff retention. 

In partnership with SIL, innovative technology meets deep educational knowledge - pioneering responsible AI implementation that creates a real impact for educators and students.
