The ethical limitations of online grading systems.

- Abstract
The article discusses the ethical limitations of online grading systems. Increasingly, colleges and universities in the U.S. are mandating that grades be entered online. Cost, efficiency, and student concerns are the obvious reasons. If grades go directly into an online database made available to faculty via a secure web-based interface: the institution saves the cost of paying someone to transcribe them from the grade roster; the risk of error is reduced, and the same interface can be made available to students, thereby allowing them quicker access to their grades. Of course, there are security concerns, but there are also, admittedly somewhat different, security concerns with paper grade rosters.
