Definition:
Automatic grading is a quiz evaluation process in which the system instantly scores user responses using predefined correct answers and scoring rules, without manual checking by a creator or administrator. In LearnCove, it applies to objective question types—such as Multiple Choice, Matching, Matrix, and Missing Words—and ensures consistent, unbiased scoring. Integrated with Advanced Settings, it allows configuration of points, award methods (“All or nothing” or “Percentage of correct”), and explanations, making it ideal for large groups or situations where immediate grades are required.
