Gradescope
Gradescope is an online grading tool for scanned, pen-and-paper, free-response assessments. This tool supports workflows for both individual student assignment (homework) and instructor upload of assessments (exams).
Gradescope makes it easy and efficient to organize, grade, and provide consistent feedback for assignments and exams. Gradescope provides a dynamic point adjustment rubric that allows you to modify rubric items and values while you’re grading. Gradescope integrates with Brightspace making it easy to sync your course roster and push grades to grade center.
