Problem
Educators spend extensive time manually grading diverse assignments, which limits feedback depth, consistency, and the ability to identify student mastery trends across large classes.
Solution
Ethyra offers an AI-powered grading assistant that learns each educator’s grading style and rubric preferences. The system can evaluate essays, math problem sets, code, and other formats, providing detailed, personalized feedback and scores. Integrated analytics track mastery by criterion, highlight early concerns, and visualize score trends throughout a term. The platform syncs with existing classroom tools (e.g., Google Classroom, Canvas) to import rosters and assignments, while end‑to‑end encryption and compliance with FERPA, GDPR, SOC 2, and COPPA protect student data. Educators can interact with the AI via a chat interface to refine feedback, set plain‑language grading rules, and export results for reporting.
