As more and more institutions adopt AI assessment and grading, we’d like to make the case for Graide.
Geared to meet the complex demands of vocational training, online learning, and professional development, Graide makes for faster and fairer assessment.
We’re doing our very best to minimise the monotony of marking, turning traditional assessment on its head in the process.
Here are the 10 key benefits that make Graide “top of the class” for assessment technology.
In a nutshell
What are the benefits of Graide?…
- offers unparalleled efficiency, cutting grading time by up to 90%
- improves grading accuracy and consistency
- increases the quality and quantity of feedback
- lightens the marking burden for educators
- reduces admin
- supports diverse learning environments
- enhances student satisfaction and engagement, along with learning outcomes
- illuminates the whole assessment process for teachers, learners, and organisations
- transforms traditional grading into a more meaningful, insight-driven process
1. An AI assistant that observes and then adopts your grading style
At the forefront of AI-driven assessment and grading, Graide’s AI does not rely on static algorithms; it learns and grows with you.
As instructors use the platform, Graide observes their practice, preferences, and feedback patterns. Over time, the system adapts to reflect this, ensuring that the automated grading process aligns with the instructor’s needs and style.
If, for example, an instructor emphasises critical thinking or rewards creativity in responses, Graide’s AI will pick up on those priorities and apply them consistently. Unlike traditional systems, which are rigid and one-size-fits-all, Graide offers a personalised grading experience that feels custom-made for every user.
That’s the irony—artificial intelligence doesn’t feel artificial at all. It leads to a truer, more authentic experience.
2. Massive time savings
Grading manually takes hours of valuable instructor time, especially in large-scale training programs.
Graide addresses this problem head-on.
With grading time reduced by as much as 90%, tasks that might take an entire afternoon can take as little as half an hour.
This efficiency is a game-changer for overstretched instructors.
By eliminating repetitive and time-intensive tasks, Graide allows educators to redirect their energy toward more impactful activities: lesson planning, mentoring, long-term professional development, and some good old-fashioned thinking time, or some R&R. You can’t pour from an empty cup, as they say.
3. Consistency across assessments, regardless of volume
One of the biggest pitfalls of traditional grading is inconsistency.
This is perfectly understandable and only to be expected. When instructors are grading hundreds of assignments, fatigue and subjective interpretations creep in, leading to uneven scoring.
Such inconsistencies frustrate assessors and learners.
It also undermines confidence in the system.
Graide eliminates this risk.
AI is indefatigable. It applies consistent evaluation criteria across every assessment, time and time again. The end result is that each learner is graded fairly, without the influence of external factors.
By delivering uniform results, Graide builds trust among learners and ensures that every assessment is a reliable measure of performance.
4. Detailed and personalised feedback
Feedback is essential to learning. If only it didn’t take up so much time! Manual assessment makes providing detailed, meaningful advice for every learner an impossible task.
Graide generates highly detailed, personalised feedback for each assignment at scale, increasing the amount of feedback sevenfold on average.
So, a few lines or 28 words of feedback becomes 200 words.
That’s far more comprehensive, far more meaningful.
Rather than several lines, that’s several paragraphs of insightful, in-depth feedback—a whole lot more for students to get their teeth into!
Faster, more personalised feedback fosters a stronger sense of engagement. When students feel seen, heard, and supported, they are more likely to stay motivated and succeed. Assessment and grading are an integral part of student engagement, satisfaction, and retention.
5. Scalability without sacrificing quality
The larger the organisation, the harder it is to keep everyone happy.
As training programs expand, the number of assessments grows exponentially. Conventional grading methods struggle to keep up, resulting in delays, declining quality of feedback, and overwhelmed instructors.
Graide is built to scale seamlessly, handling large volumes of assessments without compromising on speed, accuracy, or consistency.
50 learners or 5,000—it’s all one to artificial intelligence.
Graide will maintain the same level of precision and care for every single assignment.
This scalability is particularly valuable for organisations looking to grow their offerings or manage peak periods, such as exam seasons, without adding additional workload for instructors.
6. Enhanced instructor wellbeing
The stresses and strains of grading take their toll on instructors.
In the short term, it compromises the quality of instruction and job satisfaction.
In the long term, it leads to burnout and churn.
As much as anything, an investment in AI sends a signal to students and staff that you’re serious about all of the above.
7. Collaborative grading focusing on human interaction
Graide is far more than an automated system. It’s a tool that fosters collaboration between instructors and artificial intelligence.
Unlike other grading methods that isolate instructors with repetitive tasks, Graide encourages active engagement by incorporating a “human-in-the-loop” approach.
Instructors can review, adjust, or override AI-generated grades and feedback, ensuring the system remains aligned with their judgment. This collaboration builds trust in a platform that is improving all the time.
8. Support for diverse learning environments
Whether it’s an online professional development course, a vocational program, or a blended learning experience, every training environment is different. Traditional grading systems often struggle to adapt to these varying contexts.
Graide is designed with flexibility in mind.
Its AI algorithms can handle a wide range of assessment types, from written assignments to practical evaluations. This adaptability makes it an invaluable tool for organisations operating across diverse learning environments, ensuring that all learners receive consistent and fair assessments regardless of format.
Managing Director and Founder of Oxbridge Matt Jones said: “Students love the ability to submit work in a range of formats, whether that be handwritten or typed. What we're seeing is happier students, happier markers, and it's freed up our markers to do the stuff that they love.”
9. Streamlining administrative processes
Graide does more than grade!
It tracks submissions, compiles grades, and generates reports in accessible formats—all those things that bog down instructors and administrators, alike.
Automating these processes simplifies life immeasurably.
The platform can generate detailed reports that summarise learner performance, highlight trends, and provide actionable data for program improvement.
This feature is particularly beneficial for large-scale training programs where managing hundreds, if not thousands, of assessments becomes overwhelming and joining the dots becomes difficult.
10. A partner in your success
It’s not just about streamlining assessments; it's about creating a long-term partnership that drives success for instructors, learners, and organisations.
