Reduce the time associated with grading while consistently providing detailed feedback with Gradescope, an academic technology designed to streamline and standardize grading exams, homework, and other assignments.

Used for delivering assessments in any format—online, in-person, or hybrid—Gradescope is the ideal tool for providing feedback on student assignments, including written formulas, graphs, calculations, and other kinds of work that cannot be easily graded using ICON SpeedGrader. Students can even upload their handwritten work to Gradescope.

With Gradescope, instructors can grade the same question in all exams, modify grades for multiple exams, and more. It also supports teams of graders, allowing them to share the same rubric and coordinate grading across questions.

Add Gradescope to Your Courses

Instructors can add it to their courses by going to their ICON course settings and enabling Gradescope in the Navigation tab.  

Gradescope can be switched on at any point in the semester; however, it cannot be added to an in-progress or closed assignment.
