Cograder

Cograder is an AI-powered grading assistant designed to streamline the evaluation of essays and open-ended questions for educators. Its primary purpose is to significantly reduce grading time while providing consistent, rubric-aligned feedback on student work. By automating the most time-consuming aspects of assessment, Cograder allows instructors to focus more on instruction and student support rather than manual scoring.

The platform analyzes student responses against customizable rubrics and criteria, generating detailed feedback on content understanding, structure, argumentation, and writing mechanics. Instructors can adjust scoring guidelines, override AI suggestions, and maintain full control over final grades, ensuring alignment with their teaching standards. Cograder supports batch processing of assignments, integrates with common file formats, and can be used alongside existing LMS workflows via exportable reports. The tool also highlights patterns and common misconceptions across a class, helping teachers quickly identify areas that need re-teaching or targeted intervention.
