Gradescope

Gradescope is a platform by Turnitin for collecting and grading academic work: paper-based exams, homework, tests with answer sheets, and source code. Instructors grade submissions question by question using shared rubrics, while AI speeds up routine tasks. According to the service, it is used by more than 140,000 instructors and 3.2 million students across 2,600+ universities.

What It Can Do

• Rubric-based grading. Submissions are graded question by question; changing a rubric immediately recalculates scores for all students.
• AI Answer Groups. For some question types, AI automatically groups similar answers, allowing the instructor to grade an entire group in a single action.
• AI student roster matching. Scanned submissions are automatically matched to students.
• Assignment types. Paper-based exams (scans), student-uploaded PDFs, answer sheets, online assignments, and programming assignments with automated code grading and similar-code detection.
• Appeals and analytics. Grade regrade requests, assignment statistics, and grade exports.
• Apps for students on iOS and Android to photograph and submit their work.

Plans

The Institutional plan can be tried free of charge for one semester, after which the course remains on the free Basic plan.
