The 2.0 release
GradingPal 2.0: a clearer way to move from work to feedback
Explore the updated grading experience, with tools to refine your rubric, shape student comments and use approved assessment evidence in your next teaching decision.
Find your next grading task more easily
The updated interface brings the assignment workflow into a clearer sequence: prepare the assessment, review suggested results and share the feedback you approve.
Your existing classes, assignments, rubrics and graded work remain part of GradingPal. The update supports the work you are already doing.
Ask for a useful edit in plain language
Ask GradingPal brings supported rubric, question and feedback edits into a conversational workflow. Describe the change, inspect the proposal and accept what fits.
Use it to clarify a criterion or refine an individual comment without losing sight of the assessment you are reviewing.
Start from a rubric you can adapt
The rubric library provides starting points for supported plans. Make your own copy, review the criteria and adjust the levels or points to fit the task.
You can continue using your existing rubrics whenever they are the right choice.
Make feedback preferences easier to apply
Use grading controls for instructions, grammar suggestions and supported feedback languages. Choose the feedback style, tone and length that fit the class, then edit the final comments.
The goal is less repeated rewriting and clearer next steps for students.
Change nothing and GradingPal still:
- Grades against your rubric, one criterion at a time
- Quotes the evidence behind every judgement so you can check it
- Judges each student on their own work, never against classmates
- Flags anything it cannot read instead of guessing at it
- Leaves the final say with you: nothing is released until you share it
Bring approved work into a longer learning picture
Optional standards mastery tracking connects aligned assessment evidence across assignments. You choose the calculation method and review the work behind the result.
Performance analytics, on supported plans, helps you inspect class patterns and decide what to teach next.
