A very common myth about AI tools for education is that they will replace teachers, but that is not true. These tools will not take over your role, rather they will streamline your responsibilities by handling tedious tasks like grading assessments.

Grading is one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks for teachers. It’s a time-consuming process that often results in late nights and piles of paper. However, with an automated grading like Flubaroo, you don’t have to worry about the time and errors in grading your students’ papers.

Let’s look at the advantages of automated grading with Flubaroo and how to set it up.

Benefits of Grading Automation

The following are the top reasons you should integrate Formplus with Flubaroo to automatically grade your students:

A. Saves Time

With Flubaroo, you don’t have to worry about multiple choice, short answer, and even truth/false questions. It automatically scores each student’s answers, allowing you to spend your time planning lessons, getting feedback from students on their learning, and optimizing your teaching methods.

While Flubaroo helps you to automatically grade your students, Formplus helps you seamlessly create assessments for your students. Formplus also helps you to automatically transfer student responses to the grading spreadsheet, saving you hours of manual work.

B. Grading Accuracy

With Flubaroo’s automated grading, you don’t have to worry about bias or fatigue, and you will get accurate and reliable scores. It also frees up your time to focus on providing valuable, actionable feedback that empowers students to learn and grow.

C. Better Organization

Flubaroo presents student scores and feedback in a well-organized spreadsheet, making analysis and communication with students a breeze. Formplus, on the other hand, allows you to view student answers and analytics to see if students had problems with their assessments, identify areas of improvement, and create reports for your parents and administrators.
