Grade a whole class. Keep your whole weekend.
Upload your students' work and a rubric or answer key, then let SmartEducator do the heavy lifting.
WHAT GRADE DOES
Save hours every week – without a single submission left ungraded.
Grading is where SmartEducator began, and it remains the platform’s most transformative feature.
Upload your students' work – typed or handwritten – along with your rubric or answer key, and SmartEducator does the rest. Every submission is graded against your standards, with color-coded evidence highlights, per-criterion justifications and individualized student-ready feedback produced automatically. Most educators save at least eight hours a week; many save significantly more.
When SmartEducator grades a set of submissions, you're not getting a simple right-or-wrong verdict. Instead, SmartEducator draws from your predefined class- or student-level context, aligns to your state standards, detects AI-written responses at paragraph level – and so much more.
HOW IT WORKS
From submission to feedback
in five effortless steps.
1. UPLOAD YOUR MATERIALS
Drag and drop your assignment, rubric or answer key, and student submissions. The platform auto-detects each document type. No rubric or answer key? No worries: SmartEducator generates one for you.
2. AUTOMATIC GRADING
Each submission is graded against your rubric or answer key, with the relevant passages of the student’s answer highlighted against each criterion in a distinct color.
3. REVIEW THE RESULTS
For each student, you see the question, their answer, the points awarded, the justification behind each grade and the feedback ready to return.
4. EDIT ANYTHING
Every grade, criterion and piece of feedback is fully editable by the teacher. Editing a grade triggers a regrade automatically to keep everything consistent and the teacher firmly in control at every step.
5. RELEASE WHEN YOU’RE READY
Return feedback immediately or hold it back for review. Export as per-student PDFs or push directly back to your LMS – whatever works best for you.

Grading is the middle of the story – not the end.
Every submission you grade in SmartEducator feeds directly into your Accelerate insights dashboard automatically, without any extra steps. The moment a set of papers is graded, the data is there: class performance, individual student results, cognitive pattern analysis and a clear steer on where to focus next.
And it feeds back the other way, too. Use those same insights to inform the next resource you build in Create – not the same assignment for the whole class, but targeted, personalized work shaped by how each student or cohort actually performed.
That’s the complete cycle: Create informs Grade, Grade informs Accelerate, and Accelerate informs the next round of Create.
SmartEducator does the groundwork. You get the final say.
