Digital Grading 101: How to use a digital worksheet maker to create Easy-to-Use Auto-graded assignments and assessments

Are you feeling weighed down by the stack of grading you have? Free up nights and weekends by automating your grading in your classroom. We’ve come up with a guide to jumpstart your digital grading journey.

What is Digital Grading?

A digital-graded, or auto-graded assignment, is an assignment that is instantaneously graded. Often teachers use tools that automate the grading process. They create an assignment and then put in a key that the app uses to grade submissions. Self-graded assessments and worksheets can be partially or fully graded by auto-grading software. TeacherMade converts all of your assignments to digital worksheets and gives you the option to auto-grade interactive digital activities.

What types of assignments and assessments can be Digital graded?

Most assignments can be auto-graded using TeacherMade. Here are a few ideas:

- Homework: Teachers use homework for practice. So why not automate it? You can even set up your assignment options so that students can get instant feedback, so they know how they are doing at the moment.
- Worksheets: Are worksheets dominating your grading time? Much like homework, teachers spend a lot of time grading worksheets. Free up your time grading and focus on things that matter more: instruction, meaningful feedback, and relationships.
- Formative Assessment: Do a quick check with your students and get instant feedback on their learning journey.
- Quizzes: Most quizzes can be automated. Just put in your key with TeacherMade.
- Tests and Assessment: Multiple-choice tests are perfect for self-grading. But you can also grade portions of tests and use self-grade for the rest.
- Bellringers: Start your day off in the right way with auto-graded bell work. It’s easy to have students log in to their digital bell work, and then you can quickly receive the feedback.

Benefits of Digital graded Assignments

Once you implement auto-scoring in your classroom, you will be amazed at all of the benefits you will experience.

Save time with self-graded assignments and assessments

Many teachers are reluctant to start using digital assignments that self-grade because of the learning curve. It can be frustrating to learn a new app or software only to realize it’s not the right fit in your classroom. And each time you use it, there is time spent getting it set up just right. But here’s the thing, you’re already spending time typing and editing assignments that you use all the time. You’re also spending time copying the assignment, handing it out, and grading it. Why not cut this time out with some setup time?

With TeacherMade, our app makes it easy to set up auto-grading on all of your assignments. If you can set up a PowerPoint, you can set up a self-graded assignment. Try TeacherMade today.
