Fall 2024 Pilot of GradeScope in Brightspace
This Fall, Distance Learning is facilitating a pilot trial of a high-powered grading software called GradeScope. FIne-tuned for handwritten and technical assignment submissions, GradeScope is an assessment platform that dramatically reduces the time associated with grading formulas, calculations, schematics, programming code, and other STEM-related assessments. It helps digitally collect, organize, and store work, whether in person or online. GradeScope also identifies student and class trends to provide in-depth statistics for insights on student learning.
This is a one semester pilot. Faculty can learn how to use GradeScope by visiting Module 12 in the FAR101 Brightspace Course or using our Events website to register for the onboarding workshops in September. You can also visit the GradeScope help center for more information. Faculty feedback for this pilot can be submitted at this survey link.
