CoGrader

CoGrader is designed to free educators from grading student assignments, saving them 80% of the time spent on grading, and providing immediate first-pass feedback and grades based on rubrics that teachers can customize. The tool is designed to help students improve by giving them feedback that's both detailed and timely. CoGrader is used by more than 1000 schools and is backed by UC Berkeley.

The tool integrates with Google Classroom, letting teachers import assignments and then export graded feedback and scores back to the classroom. It also offers bulk export options for use with Canvas and Schoology. CoGrader uses artificial intelligence to assess student work, including the ability to detect ChatGPT usage and to provide class data analytics.

Teachers can benefit from CoGrader in several ways:

• Time Savings: Automate grading to save hours or days.
• Fairness and Consistency: Ensure grades are objective, not influenced by human bias.
• Better Feedback: Give students lightning-fast, detailed feedback.
• Class Analytics: See how your class is performing so you can plan.

CoGrader offers two pricing tiers:

• Individual Educator: $15/month, includes unlimited graded answers, Google Classroom integration, export options and priority support.
• Schools: $150/year, includes unlimited teachers and admins, Admin Dashboard, data analytics and white-glove support.

All teachers can try CoGrader for 30 days for free, after which they can grade 100 papers per month for free. CoGrader says it's designed to help teachers, not replace them, and that it's important to review and validate grades before submitting them.

By automating first-pass feedback and grading, CoGrader lets teachers focus on what's most important -- teaching, supporting students and giving them feedback that's actually helpful. It's a good option for teachers looking to save time and improve student feedback.
