Crowdmark

What Crowdmark is

Crowdmark is an assessment platform for instructors evaluating exams, essays, lab reports, and other student work. It supports existing paper assessments, new assignments, and exams with multiple-choice questions. Instructors can scan and upload work; students can submit assignments using mobile phones. Grading tools include scores, graphical annotations, hypertext comments, mathematical notation, and reusable comments. Performance information is available for each question, and an API can extract insights.

Crowdmark lists roster and grade synchronization with Canvas, Brightspace/D2L, Moodle, Blackboard, and Sakai. Its Canvas integration can bring in courses, rosters, team members, and sections, then export grades. Offerings cover higher education and K–12, with licensing for instructors, departments, enterprises, schools, and school districts. Course-based and annual subscriptions are priced by quote, and a trial is available. Crowdmark is accessible on web, Android, iOS, and through an API; the Exam Matcher works in a mobile browser with a camera, while its iOS and Android Exam Matcher apps are deprecated and unsupported. Crowdmark describes safeguards for personal information, which may be processed and stored outside Canada, including in the United States.
