SUMMARY:(Virtual) Want to save time grading? Feeling challenged by AI and assessments? Learn how Gradescope can help.
DESCRIPTION:Gradescope was designed to allow faculty to include more diverse assessments with improved feedback while saving time on grading.  It provides capacity in larger classes where assessments beyond multiple choice can be challenging at scale. However\, for any size class it can improve the efficiency and quality of your grading for both paper (e.g. in class quizzes or exams\, worksheets\, reflections) or online assessments. During this overview\, we will walk through the tool and discuss how you can save time with grading\, expand your assessment types and improve feedback and learning data. \nThursday\, November 13th | 11:00am – 12:00pm | Virtual Workshop \nREGISTER HERE
