Privacy-first grading for
college educators.
Grade smarter with custom rubrics, offline security, and FERPA-friendly design. Student work and grades stay on your machine — never uploaded, never shared, never used to train anything.
Professors & Lecturers
Grade large sections consistently against a rubric you control — and keep every student record on your own machine.
Adjunct & Contingent Faculty
Carry your rubrics from course to course and institution to institution, without depending on any one school’s systems.
Teaching Assistants
Apply the same rubric the whole team agreed on, so grading stays fair and defensible across every grader.
Build your rubric
Define criteria, levels, and point values once. Reuse the rubric across assignments and sections so your standard stays consistent.
Bring in submissions
Load student work locally. Nothing is uploaded to a server — the whole session runs on your own machine.
Grade against the rubric
Score each submission by the criteria you set, with your rubric always in view so grading stays even from the first paper to the last.
Add feedback
Attach comments tied to rubric criteria, so students see not just a grade but exactly how it was reached.
Export grades
Produce clean grade and feedback exports ready to drop into your LMS or return to students — on your schedule, from your device.
Consistent grades,
private by default.
- Fair and defensible. Every grade traces back to the rubric criteria it was scored against.
- Private by construction. Student work and grades stay on your machine — there is no cloud to breach.
- Yours to reuse. Rubrics carry from assignment to assignment, term to term, and school to school.
FERPA-Friendly by Design
Keeping student data on your own device is the foundation of FERPA compliance — Markers Helper is built so records never leave your control.
Fully Offline & Local-First
No cloud account, no upload, no third-party processing. The software works entirely on your machine, even with no connection.
Custom Rubrics
Grade against criteria you define and control, so scoring stays consistent, transparent, and fair across every student and every grader.
