Gradescope allows instructors to streamline grading hand-written assignments. Currently, Gradescope is only available to a limited group of faculty.
Use Gradescope inside Canvas to link your course, sync your roster, create and link assignments, grade submissions, and post grades back to the Canvas Gradebook. Authentication occurs via Canvas—no separate Gradescope password is required—and assignment names/dates may sync from Canvas to Gradescope depending on institutional settings.
Gradescope’s Homework/Problem Set is best for freeform student work where layouts vary and students mark pages per question. Exam/Quiz is best when every student uses the same template and you want predefined answer regions and efficient bulk scanning/matching.
