How do I scan and score document-based assessments in the Mastery Connect Teacher app?

On June 27, 2024, the Mastery Connect Teacher and Student mobile apps will be discontinued. There will be no further app updates and functionality will no longer be guaranteed. It is recommended that educators and students remove these apps from their devices and connect via their web browser or the Canvas mobile app.

For more information, refer to the Mastery Connect product blog.

As a teacher, you can scan and score document-based assessments using the Grader in the Mastery Connect Teacher app on a mobile device. The Grader uses your device's camera to scan bubble sheets through the GradeCam scanning window.

Notes:

  • The Mastery Connect Teacher app is available for both Android and iOS devices.
  • The images shown in this lesson are from an iPhone. The Android and/or tablet interfaces may have slight differences, but have the same functionality unless otherwise noted.
