Crowdmark - Request access and scanning

Crowdmark is an online, collaborative marking system for exams and term assignments. For paper-based exams, Crowdmark offers online manual grading to instructors and their teaching assistants. For term assignments, the platform offers a paperless way to distribute, collect, grade (individually or as a team) and return feedback. Crowdmark integrates with the UM Learn course management system to easily transfer student rosters and grades from one platform to the other.
