Gradebird help

This help center explains what each instructor workflow does, where to find it, and how to complete it.

Start with the product map

Product map and navigation explains the global, course, and exam navigation levels and identifies which roles can see each workspace. Terms and states defines words such as draft, published version, canonical version, packet, accepted response, provisional, and released.

Standard instructor workflow

1. Create a course and complete guided setup.
2. Import or maintain the roster.
3. Author or import an exam draft.
4. Compile, review, and publish a read-only version.
5. Print master, numbered, or named packets.
6. Upload scans and resolve matching or duplicate-work issues.
7. Publish rubrics and finalize free-response grading, and set keys and review recorded answers for True/False or multiple-choice questions.
8. Preview and release student reports or export grades.

If several students completed copies of the same numbered packet, use Packet Repair during upload to separate their work by title page. The guide covers cleanup of earlier uploads, page ordering, where to find the control, and later uploads.
