Why Educators Need This

Real grading challenges identified by real educators - and how we solve them

Window & Document Chaos

The Problem:

Constantly jumping between rubrics, criteria documents, and student submissions breaks concentration and wastes time.

Our Solution:

Side-by-side views keep everything you need in one focused workspace.

Lost in Search Mode

The Problem:

Hunting through folders and files for that exemplar or previous submission disrupts your grading flow.

Our Solution:

Scripts can be given nicknames and tagged to make them easy find later.

Can't Find Past Work

The Problem:

Need to reference how you graded similar work before? Good luck finding it in your file system.

Our Solution:

Smart organization and search helps you quickly find and compare previous grading decisions.

Consistency Drift

The Problem:

After hours of grading, maintaining the same standards from first to last submission becomes nearly impossible.

Our Solution:

Built-in rubrics and criteria tracking ensure fairness throughout your grading session.

Experiencing these challenges too? You're not alone.
