Students and instructors are using the Crowdmark platform to improve their learning and grading in all kinds of interesting ways.
Many students are eschewing paper, instead using Crowdmark to create digital portfolios of their work. Why waste paper writing up an assignment when you can work out your solutions on a whiteboard, take a photo with your phone and upload it to Crowdmark? Boom! – you have a digital record of your work.
In some disciplines like STEM and business, professors are grading student projects and presentations by creating an administered assessment with a marking rubric. The rubrics can be matched to a student or multiple students after being scanned and uploaded back into Crowdmark. Instructors use the grading interface to add comments and scores on their laptop during the student’s presentation and grades can be easily returned to students by email.
