Gradebook

An online gradebook for your grading system.

EMStudio’s online gradebook is built around flexible grading: custom scales, weighted categories, and assignment-based grading that you can shape to match your school’s system or your own. Grades calculate themselves in the background while you focus on the assignments and students themselves.

An online gradebook built on what teachers told us

Years of building Notion for Teachers templates for 50,000+ educators showed us where most gradebooks fall short. EMStudio's gradebook addresses what came up most: configurable grading scales, weighted categories, and the freedom to grade qualitatively when a number doesn't capture it.

What makes a good online gradebook

A good online gradebook gets out of the way. It accepts the grading system you already use, calculates accurately, and lets the rest of your day be about teaching and giving feedback rather than maintaining the tool. You shouldn’t have to think about your gradebook between the moments you’re actually putting grades into it.

Create, share, and grade assignments

Each assignment in EMStudio holds the instructions, the student submissions, the grades you give, and the feedback you return. The teacher works from one place to send out the assignment, see what came back, and grade it. There's nothing to track separately or move between tools.

Grading scales that fit your system

Most gradebooks decide how grading works before you start using them. EMStudio leaves it open. You describe how grading works in your classes — the scales, the categories, the weights, the type of grade each category produces — and the gradebook follows your setup from there.

Communicate and collect from students

The full assignment exchange happens inside EMStudio. Students receive their work in the portal and submit back to you. You return grades and feedback in the same place. A built-in chat covers anything that needs follow-up.

Grades organized and easy to read

The longer a grading period fills up, the harder a gradebook gets to read. EMStudio's views stay clean as the term goes on, so finding any grade or spotting an exception takes a glance, not a scroll through hundreds of cells.

Analyze student performance over time

Beyond the class grid, every student has a profile that pulls their grading data into one view. The current overall grade, the trend over the term, the breakdown across weighted categories, and the per-class records all live there for the conversations that come up about specific students.

Built-in student portal

The portal gives every student access to their own grades, assignments, and feedback. They can see how they're doing in each class, turn in assignments directly, and read the comments you return on their work. They stay in the loop without you having to send anything separately.
