TimelyGrader

TimelyGrader is an AI-assisted grading platform designed for higher education institutions, helping instructors efficiently assess a wide range of student assignments. The system employs a "Human-in-the-Loop" approach, where AI generates initial grading suggestions and personalized feedback based on instructor-defined rubrics. This allows educators to review, refine, and finalize grades, ensuring accuracy and maintaining human oversight.

How TimelyGrader Works

The platform analyzes various assignment types, including academic essays, STEM technical writing, video presentations, spreadsheets, student blogs, and research reports. For essays, it evaluates thesis clarity, logical organization, source integration, and originality. For technical writing, it assesses problem definition, approach justification, and communication of technical ideas. Video grading supports diverse learning styles by evaluating submissions beyond traditional written work.
