Gradescope
AI-assisted grading that groups similar answers so instructors grade by rubric, not by student
About
Gradescope is a grading platform owned by Turnitin, built for instructors rather than students. Teachers scan handwritten work or import digital submissions; its AI groups similar answers together so a rubric can be applied question-by-question instead of re-grading each student's full paper. It includes code autograding for programming courses, bubble-sheet support, regrade-request workflows, and LMS integrations. Pricing per reviewers runs about $1 per student per course on Basic, around $3 on Team/Solo plans, with institutional licenses (often bundled with Turnitin) covering many universities; a free tier exists for individual instructors. It speeds up grading substantially in large classes but requires uploading student work to the cloud, which raises data-privacy considerations schools must weigh.
