CoGrader
AI essay grading for teachers with rubric-based feedback, classroom integrations, and individual or institutional plans.
About CoGrader
CoGrader is an AI essay-grading tool for teachers who assess essays and open-ended responses while returning specific feedback to students. Teachers can create and share rubrics, use rubric-based grading, and reduce the time spent on repetitive review. The workflow also supports handwritten assignments and grammar checking on the Standard plan, with a class performance dashboard for spotting learning gaps. Google Classroom integration is included with Standard; Canvas and Schoology are listed for Schools & Districts. The Free plan supports 100 student submissions per month, while Standard raises the allowance to 350. Institutional plans add unlimited submissions, shared rubric libraries, administration, analytics, onboarding, and priority support. Higher Ed & Enterprise extends the product with API access, custom integrations, roles, dashboards, and support terms. This structure makes CoGrader suitable for individual educators testing AI-assisted grading as well as organizations that need centralized deployment and reporting.

Features
Rubric-based essay grading
Grade essays and open-ended responses against teacher-built rubrics, then produce individualized feedback for each student. This supports consistent criteria while reducing repetitive manual review across a class.
Faster feedback turnaround
Shorten the grading cycle so students receive specific feedback sooner without adding the same amount of manual teacher work. Teachers can use the returned feedback to keep revision and instruction moving.
Class performance review
Use the class performance dashboard after assignments are graded to identify learning gaps across a group. Teachers can use those patterns to adjust instruction and provide more targeted support.
