Gradescope

Grade collaboratively with this assessment platform, designed to streamline paper-based and digital assignments.

Gradescope has the ability to create and edit shared rubrics, deploy artificial intelligence-assisted grading features, automate digital assessment and assignment return to students, and view grading analytics.

Gradescope supports variable-length assignments such as problem sets and projects, as well as fixed-template assignments such as worksheets, quizzes and exams. Paper-based assignments can be scanned and uploaded to Gradescope, for instructors and TAs to grade on an online interface that allows quick and easy rubric creation and feedback. Gradescope also tracks question and rubric-level statistics that can be easily exported to help the instructor gain valuable insight on student understanding of different learning materials and topics.

There is a cost for using Gradescope at UBC. The cost is charged per student per course. Funding for Gradescope will need to be discussed with your department.
