Upload your rubric, drop in your Canvas submissions, and GradeFlow drafts a fair, evidence-cited grade and a short feedback comment for every student. You review and approve everything — nothing is ever sent or finalized without you.
If you can download submissions from Canvas, you can use GradeFlow. Built to be simple enough for any TA.
Upload the rubric file you already use (Word, PDF, even a photo), or describe the assignment and GradeFlow drafts a rubric for you.
Download submissions from Canvas as a zip and drop the whole thing in. Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, and text all work.
Every student gets a score with quoted evidence and a short feedback comment. Adjust anything, then export your gradebook.
No mystery scores. Each criterion shows the level chosen and a quote from the student's work that justifies it.
Edit any score, re-grade any student, and nothing exports until you say so. GradeFlow drafts; you decide.
If a student uploads the wrong document, GradeFlow flags it for you instead of grading it blindly.
A simple slider from lenient to strict tunes how borderline cases are scored, class-wide and consistent.
Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, and plain text — including Canvas bulk-download zips with late-submission tags.
See the score distribution, which criteria the class struggled with, and which students need attention.
Tools like Gradescope organize submissions so you can hand-grade them faster. GradeFlow reads the work and hands you a drafted grade, evidence, and a comment for every student. You review instead of starting from zero.

Comparison reflects public plan pages as of July 2026. Every grade in GradeFlow is a draft you approve; nothing reaches students without you.
Student files are opened and read on your computer — they are never uploaded to our servers and never stored. Only the extracted text is sent, over an encrypted connection, to draft the grade, and student emails are stripped before that happens. GradeFlow keeps no record of student work.
