When I taught college and university classes, I would measure the amount of marking I had to do by the vertical foot. As in "I have a two-foot pile of papers to mark this weekend." Anything that would save me time would have been of interest to me. Sadly, this article is talking in terms of 'times tables' and 'science', and so not really looking at anything more than basic factual recall (sigh - the gold standard of the instructionist). But maybe one day I'll be able to look at an analysis of a 30 page essay rather than read through the pages of turgid prose. Or maybe that's just the wrong way to think of it.
