Crowdmark Grades
Crowdmark is a tool that has been integrated into Sakai to add a digital workflow to hand-written assignments, but currently is only integrated for syncing enrollments. Grades have to be handled manually.

Assignment Grades
Once released, students can access their grades in Crowdmark. Students are sent an E-Mail notifying them of the release of grades.
Crowdmark offers a number of ways for students and instructors to retain their submitted work and feedback.
Bringing Assignment Grades Back To Sakai
Unfortunately, Crowdmark does not support a direct method to return assignment grades to Sakai. It is hoped that features available with Crowdmarks integration with other LMSs can be brought to Sakai soon. The CSV export can be adapted to import into Sakai, and with additional information, the my.brocku.ca Faculty Gradebook, but as this task is complex the CPI has developed the following tool to automate the translation.
CPI's Crowdmark export to Sakai Gradebook import can be found at https://cpi.brocku.ca/~mclare/sakai/crowdmark/grades.php
