Crowdmark is especially well suited to distributed marking in teams. | | 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 [https://wstore.uwaterloo.ca/wprint 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 [https://uwaterloo.ca/educational-technology-hub/catalogs/centrally-supported-tools/crowdmark EdTech hub] for more information and resources. |

| |
| | |
| Administered assessments are used for paper exams or tests, where instructors would upload the scans.

| |
| | |
| == Grading a subset of questions ==
| |
| | |
| You have the option of grading students' work by question.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| Click on a tag, enter a score, or click a grader to select filter(s).

| |
| | |
