Your Gradebook Guide: Mobius Gradebook

With grading being the least favorite part of an educator’s day, I’ll show you how the Möbius Gradebook gets you through your grading tasks faster, while still giving you access to valuable and actionable insights when it comes to your students’ performance. This means you get through your grading and back to doing what you actually love: teaching!

Möbius is a comprehensive teaching platform that supports you in online lesson and assignment delivery, with the added perk of automatic grading! And this is where the Möbius Gradebook comes in!

Why is grading a task?

• Time-Consuming: 

Grading demands significant time, especially with large class sizes or multiple classes, taking away from other crucial teaching tasks.

• Administrative Load: 

Grading adds to the overall administrative responsibilities of teachers, which already include lesson planning, classroom management, and meetings.

• Pressure for Accuracy: 

Teachers face pressure to grade accurately and fairly to avoid potential disputes with students and parents and ensure the integrity of the assessment process

• Lack of Immediate Feedback: 

Traditional grading methods may not provide immediate feedback to students, hindering their ability to promptly address mistakes and learn from them.

• Subjectivity: 

Grading is not always straightforward and may involve subjective judgment, introducing an element of complexity and potential variability in assessment.

How Möbius fix this problem:

There are a ton of powerful functionalities of the Möbius Gradebook that enable you to have fine control over student grades (even when the questions are automatically graded!), take a closer look at specific student responses, and perform a bunch of other important tasks related to managing grades in order to refine your course delivery.

View student grades with the gradebook

• Be selective in how you want to view your student’s grades. An incredible selection of filters and options are presented to you the second you click on the Möbius Gradebook.

• The possibilities and combinations of grade information are endless in the Möbius Gradebook, enabling you to find exactly what you’re looking for when analyzing student performance, enabling you to optimize your course based on your findings.

Individual and bulk-grade editing

• Automatic grading of sophisticated STEM questions is one of Möbius’ superpowers.

• Möbius can automatically grade algorithmic questions that use variables to give an infinite number of versions of the question, and it can automatically grade open-ended questions that have infinite numbers of correct answers. It can even grade really elaborate STEM-focused questions like free-body diagram questions and sketching (graphing) questions. It can even automatically award partial grades to students who almost got the full premise of the question, but just missed something small.

Manually grade questions

• While Möbius is built on the ability to automatically grade questions online, you still have the flexibility to intersperse manual review questions—like an essay question—that you’ll review yourself to really gauge student comprehension.

• That means you can create assignments with automatically-graded questions but also include opportunities for long answer responses, essay responses, and mathematical proofs for students to explain their understanding of a concept or show their work to explain how they got to an answer.

Gradebook analytics

• With there being more to a student’s journey than just looking at a single grade snapshot, passionate and data-driven educators will really love the detailed insights that Möbius’ grading solutions offer, ranging from in-depth statistics into question performance to how many times a student engages with a piece of content. This data means you can understand where students need help and which parts of your curriculum need improvement

All of these abilities within the Möbius Gradebook are designed to optimize your teaching workflows, and get you out of the tedious administrative tasks of course delivery and grading, and get you back to teaching, which is the whole reason you became an educator in the first place!
