Overview

More time for academic judgment.

Unigrid brings answer capture, evaluation and review into one academic workflow. OCR helps turn scanned responses into text. AI assists with semantic evaluation and rubric mapping, while faculty review, adjust and make the final assessment decision.

Evaluation involves more than a score.

Descriptive assessment takes more than checking for keywords. Evaluators need to read the answer, apply the rubric consistently, record feedback and review results across a class. Unigrid brings those steps into a shared workspace.

Where it fits

Built around institutional assessment.

Institution assessments

Coordinate descriptive examinations and evaluation workflows across academic teams.

Faculty review

Bring answers, criteria, suggested scores and final decisions into one review screen.

Academic analysis

Explore question-level and assessment-level patterns to guide subsequent review.

Deployment

Fit the institution’s environment.

Deployment is scoped with the institution around assessment volume, existing records, hosting requirements and the academic workflow. A demonstration can be arranged using sample assessment material.

Security & access

Student information needs considered access.

Student data, access roles, retention and any institutional integrations are agreed during deployment planning. AI suggestions remain subject to faculty review; the institution retains the final assessment decision.

A few useful answers

Before we talk.

Does UniGrid replace faculty evaluation?

UniGrid is designed to assist descriptive evaluation. Institutions define their rubrics and review process, with faculty retaining academic judgment over the final outcome.

Can it work with our assessment process?

The demo is a chance to review your answer formats, exam workflow, assessment criteria and reporting needs. Those requirements shape configuration, integration and rollout.

How do we assess whether it fits?

Bring a representative, permitted sample of your assessment process to the discussion. We can review the inputs, workflow and acceptance criteria before defining a deployment.
