What is Online Grading?

Online Grading is an automated system that allows students to enter their answers online and receive immediate feedback.

After completing an assignment from the textbook, the student enters their answers into the Online Grading system. The system instantly tells the student whether the answer is correct or incorrect. This immediate feedback helps students quickly identify mistakes so they can correct them and continue learning.

How students use it

Students typically use Online Grading after watching the lesson video and completing the assignment in their textbook.

A typical workflow looks like this:

• Watch the lesson video
• Complete a problem from the textbook
• Enter answer the into Online Grading
• Receive immediate feedback

•If needed, correct the answer

• Continue until all problems have been solved and answers checked

This process allows students to check their work as they go and better understand where they may need additional practice.

Progress tracking and reports

Online Grading also powers the reporting system.

Each time a student submits an assignment, the results are recorded and made available to parents through an instant email and also in the Reports section of the Parent Dashboard.

These reports allow parents to monitor:

• completed lessons
• accuracy and scores
• retry attempts
• time spent on questions

This information helps parents quickly identify progress, trouble spots, and areas where additional support may be needed.

Parent controls and settings

Parents have control over several Online Grading settings and can adjust them based on their student’s needs.

These settings allow parents to customize:

• which types of assignments appear
• how many attempts students receive
• whether students complete all problems, odds, evens, or custom selections

These options make it easy to adapt the program to different learning styles and workloads.

Supporting parents in the learning process

Online Grading is designed to assist the learning process, not replace the parent’s role.

The system helps students check their work and receive immediate feedback, while the reporting tools allow parents to quickly see how their student is progressing. Parents still play an important role by reviewing reports, helping when a student is struggling, and deciding when additional practice or review may be helpful.
