Review and release
AI scores each criterion and writes feedback in your voice. Adjust anything, add a comment, and release grades to students or your LMS gradebook in one click.
Rich and timely feedback
Per-criterion scores tell a student exactly which part of the rubric they missed.
Criterion by criterion
A DBQ comes back with the thesis, contextualization, evidence, sourcing, and complexity points marked separately, with a sentence on each.
In your voice
Give Studiorum a sample of your written feedback and set your grading strictness. The more context you give, the better the rubric grading will be.
Formative mode
Turn on AI feedback for practice work and students get a first pass immediately, allowing them to discover in real time how to fulfill the rubric.
You stay the grader of record.
AI grades are drafts until you release them. Studiorum shows its reasoning, and every score is editable.
AP® rubric grading when you need it
AP®-style FRQs are scored to College Board standards. Everyday classwork uses your custom rubrics and smart AI-grading.
Writing-process replay
For typed answers, replay how the response was written and see paste and typing patterns to help you determine the authenticity of student writing.
LMS integration
With LTI 1.3, released scores post to the Canvas, Schoology, Blackboard, Blackbaud, or Moodle gradebook automatically.
Mastery evidence
Every graded criterion updates the mastery dashboard for its standard, so you can see which skill a class is missing and generate targeted practice for it.
Common questions
How accurate is the AI grading?
Scores follow the rubric criterion by criterion, and Studiorum shows its reasoning for each point. Teachers review every grade before release, and grading strictness is tuned per assessment type.
Can students see the AI feedback before I do?
Only if you turn on formative mode for that activity. By default, AI grades are drafts visible to you alone until you release them.
Which question types are auto-graded?
Objective types are scored instantly. Essays, SAQs, DBQs, LEQs, course-specific FRQs, code, drawings, and audio responses are scored by AI against their rubric and queued for your review.
Does AI grading count against my usage allowance?
Yes, at a rate that reflects the work involved. A short answer costs little; a full DBQ with a document set costs more. Institutional customers get unlimited access.
