One of 116 tools in Education
Who it's for
- Higher-education instructors who want rubric-based first-pass grading and feedback for essays, technical writing, or other assignments.
- Teaching teams and TAs who need to review and finalize grading suggestions across many submissions.
- Institution administrators using Canvas or D2L who want assignment, submission, grade, and feedback workflows connected to the LMS.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams seeking fully automated grading without instructor review: TimelyGrader requires an instructor or TA to validate and finalize grades and feedback.
How it fits your workflow
Instructors use their own rubrics to assess student submissions. The page describes support for written assignments, presentations, spreadsheets, and videos, including work with images, charts, and tables.
TimelyGrader generates suggested grades, rationale, and draft feedback. An instructor or TA reviews and finalizes the results before they are returned to students.
For Canvas and D2L users, the listed LMS integrations support assignment and submission sync as well as grade and feedback passback.
