Where we’ll begin
Close to the reason Markqo exists.
Our first articles will focus on marking, teacher workload and the responsible use of AI in education—the areas closest to why Markqo exists. From there, the Journal will grow into a broader publication covering the full reality of teaching and education.
Initial editorial themes
- Why marking takes so long
- Giving useful feedback without losing your evenings
- What evidence-led assessment really means
- AI should support teachers, not replace them
- Making marking more consistent across a department
Our editorial promise
Useful before searchable.
The Journal will prioritise original experience, practical value and honest educational thinking. Search visibility matters, but thin SEO content does not help teachers and will not define the publication.
- Written for educators
- Grounded in real experience
- No content-farm filler
Markqo is being built from the same conversations.
The product and the Journal share one purpose: helping educators work with greater clarity, confidence and control over their time.
