Questions and answers
About the Exam Platform.
What is Gradr's Exam Platform?
The Exam Platform is the part of Gradr where the teacher creates and runs exams in open or locked mode. Students write their answers in Gradr's student platform, and as soon as they submit, the teacher can give formative feedback with the AI Assistant.
Is Gradr just an exam platform?
No, Gradr is more than an exam platform. Exams can be held in open or locked mode, but the same platform also has open assignments and process writing, exit tickets and lesson tasks in locked mode, an AI agent that supports the teacher's formative feedback, and support for analysis and planning.
Can Gradr be used for exit tickets and lesson tasks?
Yes. The same exam environment works for the short ones: an exit ticket at the end of the lesson or a lesson task, in locked mode. Locked mode is switched on with a single toggle.
Can you set open assignments and process writing in Gradr?
Yes. Gradr handles long writing assignments and process writing, with all of the class's assignments in one place. The feedback is still there at the next lesson, and the whole process is saved in Gradr.
What is locked mode in Gradr?
Locked mode is Gradr's exam environment for examinations. When locked mode is on, students take the exam in Gradr's exam app on their Chromebook; when it's off, they can write in an ordinary web browser. The teacher turns locked mode on or off in the exam settings, where spell-check, text-to-speech and feedback visibility are also set for the whole exam.
What accommodations can individual students get?
Extended time, text-to-speech or spell-check, straight from the student view. The accommodation applies only to that student; the rest of the class is unaffected.
How are multiple-choice questions marked?
Multiple-choice questions are marked deterministically against the teacher's own answer key. The AI in Gradr never sets grades, scores or summative assessments.
Can the exam be opened directly from SchoolSoft?
Yes. Gradr has a direct partnership with SchoolSoft. Teachers and students sign in through SchoolSoft, and the exam opens straight from there without a new login.
Can the teacher see the exam as students will see it?
Yes. The preview shows the exam exactly as students will see it, before it's published.
The difference comes after submission.
