Answer the onboarding questions

Onboarding asks, in order: your name if Google didn’t supply it, What best describes your role?, What do you teach?, Which levels are you teaching?, and how you found GradingPal. The subjects and levels tune the sample work and the reading level of the feedback.

Choose what to do first

Under What should we do first?, pick I have work to grade now to create a class and go straight to Instant setup, or Show me how it works first to watch a ready-made sample get graded.

​
Your first class

If you chose to grade now, the next screen is Create your first class. Fill in Class name, Grade level and Subject and select Continue, or select Google Classroom under Import from your LMS to bring a course across with its students. Either way you land in Instant setup for that class. If you watched the sample instead, your dashboard has a New Class button under My Classes. Create a class takes it from there.

​
The sample class

Picking a sample creates a sample class, pinned at the top of your class list with a Sample class label. It holds the sample assignment, already graded, with made-up students. It’s there to explore: nothing in it counts toward your monthly limit, and it stays out of the pickers when you create real assignments.

​
How to tell it worked

Your dashboard greets you by name, the class rail shows your class, and the checklist widget Get started with GradingPal ticks off “create a class”.

​
If something goes wrong

Check spam for a message from hello@mail.gradingpal.ai. If it isn’t there, go back and request another. Sign-in links expire; use the newest one.
Sign out and sign up again with the same email, choosing An educator. If the account is stuck as a student, contact support with the email address.
Some accounts are asked to pick a school before the dashboard opens. Search for yours; it’s used for school-wide sharing of rubrics.
