Print exams on standard paper, collect submissions, scan them in bulk, and grade everything online — with automatic student matching, team rubrics, and direct LMS grade return.
Assign2 is built for the realities of university paper-based assessment. Your instructors can keep running in-person exams on printed paper while eliminating the bottlenecks that slow down grading, feedback, and grade reporting.
Unique identifiers on each exam page mean Assign2 automatically matches scanned submissions to students. Graders work in parallel on the same rubric without overwriting each other. Grades push directly back to Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, or Blackboard when grading is complete.
Assign2 is campus-wide scalable and costs a fraction of proprietary grading platforms, making it practical for departments ranging from introductory courses to large-enrollment professional programs.
Assign2 has been used to grade over 1.5 million assessment items across multiple institutions including the University of Alberta, Carleton University, and Midland College.
Build your assessment in Assign2 or upload a PDF. Assign2 generates unique identifiers for each page so every student's submission is trackable.
After the exam, scan completed booklets using any flatbed or department scanner. Bulk PDF uploads are supported — no proprietary hardware needed.
Graders mark questions simultaneously using shared rubrics, reusable comments, and keyboard shortcuts. Built-in conflict prevention keeps results consistent.
Publish graded exams to students and push grades back to your LMS automatically. Students can review their annotated submissions and request re-grades.
Scanned pages are automatically matched to students. No manual sorting of hundreds of exams before grading can start.
Works with any flatbed or departmental scanner. No expensive bubble-sheet readers or proprietary scan stations.
Multiple graders mark simultaneously. Question-level assignment prevents conflicts and keeps grading efficient across large cohorts.
Build rubrics once and reuse them across terms. Shared comment libraries ensure grading language stays consistent across your team.
Grades publish directly to Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, or Blackboard. No manual CSV exports or grade entry after grading is done.
Students receive their annotated submissions digitally and can see exactly where marks were awarded or deducted.
No specialist paper is required. Assign2 prints unique identifier pages that attach to your existing exam booklets, or you can print full exams directly from Assign2 on standard paper.
Yes. Assign2 handles both automatically graded multiple-choice sections and manually graded open-ended questions on the same exam. See our guide on bubble sheet replacement for more on the multiple-choice workflow.
Assign2 flags unmatched or unreadable pages for manual review. Instructors can reassign pages to the correct student before grading begins, and the system tracks completion across the cohort.
Yes. Many departments start with a single course or a single exam sitting. Contact us to request a trial or book a walkthrough tailored to your workflows.
