Crowdmark is a platform for grading (hand)written student submission. These can be either regular assignments or exams setup through Odyssey. Odyssey is integrated with Crowdmark, so once an assessment is sent from Odyssey to W Print it will also automatically be created in the corresponding Crowdmark course. Crowdmark is especially well suited for organizing marking in large teams (features such as comment library, organizational grid/booklet numbers, anonymized grading, and more). As this is a centrally supported tool, see the EdTech hub for more information and resources.
