The Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning has licensed Gradescope for use in Canvas, and as a result, all Yale instructors have access to the Gradescope Institutional plan.
Institutional Plan Features include:
- Answer grouping: You can create groups of similar answers and grade all answers in the group simultaneously, for any question type.
- AI-assisted Grading: This will automatically generate groups of answers for you, which cuts grading time by 75% or more. This is currently available for multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank math, and fill-in-the-blank text answers.
- Typed text annotations: You can type comments in text-boxes, directly on students’ submissions.
- The ability to import rubrics from past courses on your account.
- Bubble sheet assignments: With bubble sheet assignments, you can define the correct answers for multiple choice exams using an answer key. Gradescope can then grade the students’ multiple choice responses automatically.
- Programming assignments: We support automated and manual evaluation of programming assignments, including real-time feedback and in-line commenting.

If you aren’t yet using Gradescope, there are vendor provided workshops coming up. A workshop is a great way to get a quick walkthrough of the platform and learn how to get the most out of Gradescope.
