With the rise of generative and agentic AI, many instructors are returning to handwritten assessments to evaluate students’ authentic thinking, reasoning, and writing processes. While these assessments can strengthen academic integrity and provide deeper insight into student learning, they also reintroduce a familiar challenge: the time and effort required for manual grading.
Gradescope enables digital grading of handwritten work, combining the pedagogical benefits of paper-based assessments with the efficiency, consistency, and analytics of modern online grading tools.
Join the Gradescope team along with some faculty and administrative guests for an interactive session exploring how to preserve academic integrity without increasing grading workload.
Faculty panelists will share firsthand experiences and practical strategies for:
- Grading handwritten assessments more efficiently while maintaining consistency and fairness.
- Reducing repetitive grading tasks through AI-assisted (OCR) answer grouping and flexible rubric-based workflows.
- Coordinating equitable grading across instructors, TAs, and teaching teams of any size.
- Leveraging grading analytics to identify common misconceptions and inform future instruction.
