CoGrader — AI Other

What is CoGrader?

CoGrader is an AI-powered essay grading tool designed for teachers. It uses advanced AI to provide quality feedback on student essays, reducing grading time by up to 80%. Backed by UC Berkeley, Microsoft, and Google, CoGrader integrates with popular learning management systems (LMS) like Canvas, Google Classroom, Schoology, Brightspace, and Blackboard.

Problem it solves

Grading essays is time-consuming, often leaving teachers with less time for lesson planning and individualized student support. CoGrader automates the grading process, providing detailed, rubric-aligned feedback—both glow (positive) and grow (improvement) comments—so teachers can focus on targeted instruction. It also helps identify class trends, common growth areas, and at-risk students.

Who is it for?

CoGrader is ideal for K-12 English Language Arts (ELA), social studies, and humanities teachers who assign essays regularly and want to give students high-quality feedback without spending hours. It’s also great for AP/IB teachers, curriculum coordinators, and schools looking to standardize grading. It may be less useful for teachers who don't assign long-form writing or those who prefer fully manual grading.
