What is Crowdmark?
Crowdmark is an online tool focused on making the grading process more effective and and time efficient. This tool is geared towards administering and grading assessments that are easier for students to write by hand than to type in a textbox (i.e. drawing a diagram, completing an equation, etc.).
Crowdmark carefully considers logistical concerns of grading assessments that rely on multiple team members offering a variety of skills and expertise. It aims to make the process of divvying up grading work between members less cumbersome, and offers options for instructors and students to give and receive feedback on handwritten submissions.
To get a quick sense of what Crowdmark can do and how it works please view this short 2 minute YouTube Crowdmark video.
For a more detailed perspective on how Crowdmark might be used here at Brock, please review CPI’s recording of the Friday, September 4, 2020 introductory workshop.
