Rubrical
What Rubrical is
Rubrical is a web-based AI teaching platform focused on geography departments. Teachers can upload PDF, Word, or image assessments and mark schemes, or build rubrics themselves. It marks responses against each rubric criterion, shows reasoning and evidence for marks, and drafts feedback. Teachers must review and approve marks and feedback before they reach students or are written to a learning platform. Rubrical can also draft specification-aligned lesson objectives, timed lessons, and tiered resources grounded in checkable sources. Approved marks feed analytics such as assessment-objective breakdowns, question-difficulty rankings, at-risk student flags, misconception heatmaps, and plain-English queries. It imports work from Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams and also supports scan uploads and student hand-in links. Feedback can be simplified, enlarged, shown in OpenDyslexic, or translated into a student’s first language. Rubrical supports AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC/Eduqas specifications, as well as user-supplied rubrics. Core school app data is stored in West Europe (London). Pricing is on request.
