Consultations, Observations, & Services

The Grove Center for Excellence in Science Education routinely supports faculty with individual instructional consultations, classroom observations, and more.

Accessibility Lab: Get Your Course Ready for Fall

Want to check course accessibility prep off your summer to-do list? The Grove Center’s August Accessibility Lab offers three supported work sessions where you can bring your syllabus and materials and get hands-on help with document, image, and video accessibility before fall. Learn more about dates, times, and how to register on the Accessibility Lab web page.

Gradescope License for the College of Science

The Penn State Eberly College of Science has acquired a college-wide license for Gradescope, available for instructor use beginning in January 2026. Gradescope is an online grading platform that supports paper-based, digital, and coding assignments; speeds up rubric-based grading; and provides question-level analytics that can inform course and assessment design.

Gradescope can help instructors provide more consistent feedback, manage grading more efficiently in large-enrollment courses, and identify common student difficulties across questions or learning outcomes.​
