Gradescope is a comprehensive assessment platform that transforms how educators administer and grade student work. The system supports paper-based exams, digital assignments, programming projects, and bubble sheet assessments, enabling instructors to evaluate work across any subject area efficiently.
The platform uses artificial intelligence to group similar student answers, allowing educators to grade multiple submissions simultaneously rather than reviewing each one individually. Instructors create detailed rubrics that ensure consistency across all graded work, with the ability to apply retroactive updates when rubric adjustments become necessary during the grading process.
Gradescope integrates directly with major learning management systems including Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, and Sakai, enabling automatic roster synchronization and grade transfer. Students receive immediate access to detailed feedback, rubric breakdowns, and scoring explanations as soon as grading is complete.
The system provides question-level and rubric-level analytics that help instructors identify learning gaps and assess assessment effectiveness. Regrade requests are handled entirely online, streamlining the review process and reducing administrative overhead during office hours. Over 140,000 instructors at 2,600 universities worldwide use Gradescope to grade more than 700 million questions annually.
