What AutoMark does
Teacher grading
AutoMark drafts rubric-based scores, inline comments, and overall feedback on essays and short answers. The teacher reviews, edits, and approves every paper before grades return to the LMS.
Class Insights
After grading, Class Insights shows what a class understands. Teachers can open the student work behind each finding and choose a useful next teaching step.
AutoMark Student
AutoMark Student gives students practice to revise, explain their thinking, and resubmit, so feedback turns into better work. It is designed to help students improve pass and graduation rates. Contact us for a demo.
What makes AutoMark different
The teacher approves every grade
AutoMark drafts; the teacher decides. Nothing reaches a student until the teacher has reviewed and approved it.
It grades against the teacher’s own rubric
Every score and comment refers to the teacher’s criteria language, so feedback matches what students were taught to aim for.
Native LTI 1.3, with grades returned to the gradebook
Teachers open AutoMark from their LMS course. Approved grades, written feedback, and a graded PDF go back to the gradebook without copy-pasting.
Student work never trains AI
Student work is never used to train models. Data handling is FERPA-aligned, encrypted in transit and at rest, and covered by a DPA on request.
Pilots that start small
Schools start with one department or a small group of teachers for 6 weeks, then decide with real results in hand.
