Computer grading has become increasingly prevalent in both American and Brazilian educational systems, particularly in higher education and online learning platforms. In the United States, it's widely used for standardized testing and large introductory courses. In Brazil, adoption has grown with the expansion of distance learning (educação a distância) and digital education initiatives, though traditional teacher grading remains the norm in K-12 settings. There is ongoing debate in both countries about the reliability and fairness of automated grading systems, especially for subjective assessments.
