BriefCycle: moderation without the email chase

Field notes

BriefCycle models assessment moderation as five assigned stages, from setter upload through internal review, coordinator approval, external examination, and exams-office sign-off. Uploads become immutable versions, while returns create a response step and another review round, with up to three rounds described for review stages. The site also documents a filterable portfolio grid, automatic overdue reminders, weekly and portfolio digests, and embedded PDF and text review. It states that institutions can use self-hosted deployment or an isolated hosted stack.
