Application ID: 14311577

Base Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform operations for grading an electronically administered assessment, the operations comprising: displaying a first challenge problem; displaying a digital ink stroke corresponding to an answer to the first challenge problem from a first assessee; receiving, from an assessor via a digital pen, a first feedback tag for association with the digital ink stroke of the first assessee; electronically tagging the digital ink stroke of the first assessee with the first feedback tag made by the assessor via the digital pen; identifying a second digital ink stroke corresponding to an answer to the first challenge problem from a second assessee that matches the electronically tagged digital ink stroke of the first assessee; automatically tagging the matched digital ink stroke of the second assessee with the first feedback tag made by the assessor via the digital pen, wherein each digital ink stroke comprises a notation spatially defined relative to the first challenge problem; and removing the automatically tagged and matched digital ink stroke of the second assessee from a set of answers still requiring assessment by the assessor.

Claim 9:
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise: displaying a third digital ink stroke corresponding to an answer to the first challenge problem from a third assessee; receiving, from the assessor, a second feedback tag associated with the digital ink stroke of the third assessee, wherein the second feedback tag is different from the first feedback tag, and wherein the digital ink stroke of the third assessee is different from the digital ink stroke of the first assessee; tagging the digital ink stroke of the third assessee with the second feedback tag; identifying a digital ink stroke corresponding to answers to the first challenge problem from each of a plurality of assessees that matches the tagged digital ink stroke of the third assessee; and tagging each of the matched digital ink strokes of the plurality of assessees with the second feedback tag.
