CoGrader helps you deliver timely, personalized, and specific feedback — without spending your entire weekend grading. Whether you're using Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or uploading manually, CoGrader works with your workflow.

Step 1: Import Student Work

CoGrader supports a variety of upload methods. Choose the one that matches your classroom:

Step 2: Set Up Your Assignment

  • Pick the grade level and create or upload a rubric.

  • Use one from your own collection or pick from our rubric library and customize as needed.

Step 3: Grade with CoGrader

Once submissions are uploaded and the rubric is ready:

  • CoGrader grades each submission automatically in under 2 minutes.

  • You’ll see:

    • Overall grade

    • Strengths and areas for growth

    • Actionable feedback

    • Rubric breakdown

You remain in control. Review and approve before anything is shared.

Step 4: Customize Feedback

You can:

  • Adjust tone, rigor, and length of feedback

  • Regrade in other languages (e.g., English + Spanish)

  • Edit directly or ask CoGrader to revise

Step 5: Export Feedback

When grading is done, you can export feedback directly back to the platform you used or download PDFs.

Exporting Options:

  • Google Classroom, CSV, PDF, Print: How to Export Feedback

  • Canvas, Schoology, Manual:
    Download feedback as PDFs or ZIP and re-upload to the LMS.

Step 6: View and Share with Students

Feedback appears just like you'd expect:

  • Clearly formatted

  • Includes rubric, strengths, and suggested next steps

  • Visible in SpeedGrader (Canvas), Google Classroom, or PDF form

Step 7: Review Class Insights (Analytics)

CoGrader helps you close the feedback loop with class-level data using the Analytics option:

  • Track strengths and weaknesses across your students

  • Use insights to adjust instruction

  • Spot patterns in learning gaps
