How it works:
EssayGrader is an AI-powered essay grading platform designed to help teachers streamline the grading process and save hours of time.
Our AI essay grader allows teachers in the elementary, middle school, high school, and college levels to recreate their grading rubrics, customized to match their specific curriculum and standards.
Teachers can directly import student submissions from their learning management systems like Google Classroom, Canvas, and soon, Schoology into EssayGrader.
Using advanced AI technology and proprietary algorithms, EssayGrader instantly applies the rubric to scan, analyze, and evaluate each paper. It delivers accurate grades and detailed feedback for the entire class in just minutes.
An AI essay grader like EssayGrader can transform how teachers handle grading. Here’s how:
- Faster grading: Grade an entire class in minutes instead of hours.
- Consistent results: Every submission is evaluated using the assigned rubric, reducing bias and fatigue.
- Built for scale: Whether it’s 30 students or 300, EssayGrader can handle large volumes with ease.
- Flexible to your needs: Works with custom rubrics, multiple subjects, and even different languages.
- Actionable feedback: Delivers clear, rubric-aligned comments that help students improve.
EssayGrader is designed to support - not replace the nuanced judgement of teachers. It speeds up the process while keeping you in control.
EssayGrader leverages advanced artificial intelligence to significantly streamline and accelerate the grading process. Unlike traditional grading methods, which are time-intensive and can lead to inconsistent results due to fatigue or human bias, EssayGrader provides instant, objective, and rubric-aligned evaluations every time. By automating repetitive grading tasks, EssayGrader frees teachers to spend more time delivering personalized feedback and engaging with students, improving learning outcomes and classroom interactions.
It mostly comes down to the thoughtful product design and the quality of our AI models. EssayGrader’s integrations with Google Classroom, Canvas and Schoology learning management systems are natively built into the platform, with no reliance on third-party middleware. That means no extra steps for the teacher, no app-hopping, and a friction less grading experience for the teacher. Everything works securely and seamlessly within EssayGrader, so you can import student work and start grading right away - without sacrificing speed or compromising student data privacy. Additionally, we leverage the most advanced AI models to deliver faster, more accurate, and more efficient grading.
