Gradeo

18 minutes per script. That’s the average time teachers told us they’re saving per student per exam when using Gradeo’s AI feedback to assist with marking. Since then, the capability has expanded even further. Gradeo can now help assess handwritten responses, diagrams, and coding tasks. You can view the broader report here: https://lnkd.in/g5AZq73T

Infrastructure and equity remain the biggest barriers to online exams. Around 60% of teachers identified these as the top two challenges to greater adoption. For digital assessment to work at scale, schools need the right infrastructure, reliable systems, accessible tools, and solutions designed for real classroom environments.

A thoughtful piece from Professor Jim Tognolini, Director of the Centre for Educational Measurement & Assessment (CEMA) The University of Sydney, on the evidence behind online assessment. “Good online testing is not using technology for technology’s sake. It can improve the fairness (or validity) of the evidence available to schools, systems and parents." Full article in The Conversation Australia + NZ: https://lnkd.in/gPPSNUd9

Welcoming Nick Solante to Gradeo! We’re excited to welcome Nick Solante to the Gradeo team as a Senior Engineer. Nick brings experience building and operating complex SaaS platforms across e-commerce, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling. At PaperCut, he worked on software serving millions of users globally, resolving production-critical issues like database lock contention and server crashes, designing secure authentication flows, reviewing CVEs in core dependencies, and optimising database performance. His work directly unblocked key enterprise deals by solving complex technical constraints at scale. At Gradeo, Nick will be working across the platform to help deliver on our exciting vision for the platform while strengthening the engineering foundations that schools depend on during high-stakes assessment periods. We’re thrilled to have Nick on this journey to transform how schools do assessment. #WelcomeNick #Gradeo #Engineering

At Gradeo, Chris will help us keep raising the bar with an exciting roadmap to support schools, teachers and students. We're excited to welcome him to the team as we continue to transform the online assessment experience! #WelcomeChris #Gradeo #EdTech #SoftwareEngineering #ProductEngineering

Deciphering diagrams with AI feedback! Gradeo now provides AI feedback on student diagrams, helping identify gaps in logic, assumptions that aren’t stated, and steps that need clarification. Students get clearer guidance on how to improve. Teachers get faster, more consistent feedback on complex visual responses. Take a look at how it can apply to HSC subjects like Software Engineering and Enterprise Computing, as well as Physics, Biology, Geography and other diagram-heavy subjects where structure and visual reasoning matter. #EdTech #Assessment #AI #STEM #TeachingEfficiency #Gradeo

AI feedback for coding is now live! Teachers can now generate instant, targeted feedback on Python and SQL responses, highlighting logic issues, unreachable conditions, and structural errors as they happen. In NSW, it's especially useful for HSC Software Engineering or HSC Enterprise Computing, where students are learning to think programmatically, not just memorise syntax. Teachers can see where reasoning breaks down, while students get guidance they can act on immediately. Try out AI feedback on Gradeo today. #EdTech #Coding #SoftwareEngineering #EnterpriseComputing #AI #Gradeo #HSC #WACE #QCE #SACE #IBDP #VCE

Pens down. Keys up. Eight in ten senior secondary students say they would prefer to type their exams rather than handwrite them, citing clearer expression and less pressure around handwriting speed and legibility. When exams are high stakes, comfort matters. Removing friction helps students focus on ideas, structure and accuracy rather than the mechanics of writing.

Happy Australia Day from all of us at Gradeo. Today we reflect on the great success of Australia, one of the world’s oldest continuing democracies and a country of prosperity and opportunity. Here’s to learning from the past, investing in the next generation, continual improvement and shaping a future we can all be confident in.

Teachers are leaning in. We asked teachers who have experienced both paper and online exams how they feel about the shift to digital assessment. For every teacher opposed, two are supportive of moving more exams online. Teachers back change where it reduces workload, improves clarity, and preserves assessment integrity.
