AI Grading in Brightspace, Canvas, and Moodle: What to Expect

Timely, high-quality grading remains one of the biggest challenges in higher education, especially when managing large cohorts. LearnWise AI is addressing this head-on with the AI Feedback & Grader, now integrated directly into Brightspace and Canvas, and coming soon to Moodle. This new tool helps faculty provide fast, consistent, and personalized feedback, all without changing their grading workflows.

‍

Whether you're looking to improve student retention, enhance student communication, or streamline your assessment strategy, AI-supported grading offers a meaningful way forward, especially when it's embedded inside the systems educators already use daily.

‍

‍Built for Higher Education Workflows

Unlike standalone AI tools that require file uploads or disconnected platforms, the LearnWise AI Feedback & Grader operates directly inside your LMS or VLE. Faculty can access it from familiar tools like Canvas SpeedGrader or Brightspace Grader, keeping everything in one place. Coming soon, Moodle users will also experience the same benefits, without any additional setup or system switching.

With LearnWise, institutions can:

• Provide timely, criterion-based feedback at scale
  
  
• Preserve academic tone, structure, and rubric alignment
  
  
• Support grading across written, video, and authentic assessments
  
  
• Free up faculty time for student engagement and personalized guidance

Why AI Grading Matters for Student Retention and Engagement

Grading is more than just assigning a score; it’s an essential part of the student lifecycle management process. Personalized, high-quality feedback is one of the most effective ways to:

• Increase student retention
  
  
• Improve student satisfaction and communication
  
  
• Help students track their own learning progress
  
  
• Encourage self-regulated learning
  
  

Instructors using LearnWise AI Feedback & Grader report significantly improved feedback coverage, consistency, and quality. At one institution with over 40,000 students, 84% of surveyed learners preferred AI-generated feedback over manual alternatives, citing clarity and usefulness. The tool delivers richer, rubric-aligned comments that enhance student understanding, foster skill development, and support long-term improvement. Additionally, the LearnWise AI Tutor reinforces outcomes through practice questions and personalized study plans embedded in LMS environments, providing continuous academic support beyond the grading cycle and helping students build confidence and mastery across their courses.
