How does Gradebox work?

Gradebox allows students to submit physical assignments by scanning them with a mobile device. Our Quick Scan OCR technology quickly scans each assignment, decodes the student name, and assigns it to each student in the gradebook based on the name on each page.

Do I need special equipment to use Gradebox?

Gradebox works with the app alone, but a dedicated scanning bin is available for classrooms to streamline submissions. The scanning bin is included for free in the paid annual membership or can be purchased for $19.99.

How quickly will I see scanned assignments in my gradebook?

Assignments appear (almost) instantly in the digital gradebook once scanned.

At-Home Submissions & Secure Data - Students can send photos from home, and all information is encrypted and protected.

The Silent Strain of Grading

Behind every stack of papers is a teacher with a story. Hear theirs—then imagine yours.

Time Spent

I spend hours each night grading assignments. By the time I'm done, it's midnight. I barely have energy left for planning tomorrow's lessons.

Errors & Inconsistencies

No matter how careful I am, mistakes creep into my grading. A miscalculated score here, an overlooked answer there—it's frustrating for me and unfair to my students.

Burnout & Delayed Feedback

By the time I finish grading a set of essays, weeks have gone by. My students deserve timely feedback, but I can't keep up. The stress is overwhelming.
