A second pair of eyes that catches what AI misses
The learners found it first.
Every instructional designer has shipped one: a wrong answer key, an objective no question tests, a quiz that tests recall when the objective says apply.
Free for a week, starting with your first check. No card needed.
Q2. Which complaint should you escalate to a supervisor?
- A customer asking for a $250 refund
- A customer who says they're calling a lawyer
- A customer upset about a late delivery
Answer: a
The note that comes after launch"Isn't b right too? Slide 4 says legal threats get escalated."
The fix
Catch it while you design, not after launch.
Pedagrade is a second pair of eyes that catches what AI misses. It checks your course against sound instructional design and the learning objectives in your own design document or storyboard while you design it, in Word, Google Docs, ChatGPT, and Claude.
Write the quiz. Send it to the SME. Wait. Fix what they find. Hope they found it all.
Write the quiz. The problem is underlined as you go. One click fixes it. Send a clean draft.
In Microsoft Marketplace for Word and the Google Workspace Marketplace for Google Docs. In Word, open Home, then Add-ins, and search for Pedagrade.
It reads along. It speaks up only when it matters.
Pause after a section and Pedagrade checks it. Most of the time you'll hear nothing at all.
A wrong answer key, or two answers that are both right.
A question that asks for less than its objective, or tests none. A line that contradicts the rest of your course document. Or an accessibility gap, like video with no captions.
Walk into sign-off knowing every objective is covered.
The course map shows each objective taught, practiced, and tested, and fills in as you work, so you see a gap while there's still time to close it.
Next Add a practice for O2 before the quiz.
Meet the accessibility deadline without a rebuild.
AI builds what your design document or storyboard asks for. Pedagrade flags what it forgot to ask for, while you design.

Add a keyboard way to do itTimed quiz: you have 30 seconds per question.

New: Playtest
Before it goes live, a test learner takes it.
Drop in the zip you’d upload to your LMS. A test learner plays every slide, takes the quiz, and checks what your LMS heard, so you get the fix list before your learners find the problems.

Questions before you try it
Is my course private?
Yes. Pedagrade runs on its own private AI, on hardware we own. Your course is never sent to an outside AI company and is never used to train anything. Privacy details
Will it change my course?
Only when you click. Pedagrade underlines and suggests. You change the key, use a rewrite, or keep what you wrote.
Does it work in my tools?
Word and Google Docs (Word from Microsoft Marketplace, Docs from Google Workspace Marketplace), plus Claude, ChatGPT, and the web. Keep the panel open beside your design document or storyboard and write as usual.
Will it nag me?
No. It only speaks up for wrong answer keys, two right answers, questions that aren't aligned to their objective, objectives that aren't measurable, a section that contradicts the rest of your course document (a $250 limit here, $200 there), and accessibility gaps your course document should cover, like narration with no captions or a drag-and-drop with no keyboard way.
