Gradeable's mission is to help teachers get through their stacks of paper and get to what matters most - teaching. One of the Gradeable tools enables teachers to scan exams, grading sheets, and problem sets with their mobile devices. But when you have to scan 500 problem sets a week, this can be extremely time consuming. A creative solution to this challenge could improve the Gradeable app and impact the efficiency of thousands of teachers and improve education for millions of students.
