Tired of grading paper exams by hand? Gradescope is a Canvas-integrated tool that speeds up grading for handwritten tests, quantitative problem sets and coding assignments. It uses optical character recognition to read student handwriting, then groups similar answers together so you can review and score them consistently in batches instead of one at a time. Gradescope features include rubric-based scoring, answer grouping and detailed assessment analytics. This hands-on session covers the basics: overviewing what Gradescope can and can't do, building a rubric, grading a sample assignment and posting grades back to Canvas.
