Webinar | How Purdue University Enabled Quality Feedback by Improving the Grading Process

This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry & Campus Solutions series.

Purdue University was looking for a new solution to address the challenges of grading large-scale and multi-section courses. The search and evaluation process led them to Gradescope, an assessment platform that enabled quality feedback at scale. The subsequent rollout and implementation, including partnering with faculty to build specific use cases, training, and support, has helped Purdue accelerate the grading process across campus. As priorities have shifted from COVID-19, over 2,000 courses have used Gradescope to collect, assess, and distribute feedback, delivering a reliable and consistent experience for faculty and students alike. Join this session to learn more about the evaluation and roll-out process, hear how they partnered with faculty to achieve success and resource efficiently, and see the impact and use of Gradescope’s student performance data at Purdue.
