Webinar | How to Switch Between Online and In-Person Grading

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

In 2015, Northwestern University began looking for a software solution to streamline its grading process. In Crowdmark, the university found a solution that not only increased grading speed, but also allowed instructors to give richer feedback while ensuring grading consistency. Crowdmark is now used by faculty throughout the institution, including in the Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Psychology Departments. As the pandemic lingers, Northwestern has been able to move seamlessly between in-person and online assessments, even for large-scale classes and handwritten work. Join faculty presenters as they discuss how Northwestern University adopted and rolled out Crowdmark. Learn how the Teaching & Learning Technologies department supports instructors and how grading has improved since implementation of Crowdmark.
