Case Study: University of Phoenix achieves 60% grading time savings with Bluebeam Software, Inc. Revu Standard

University of Phoenix - Customer Case Study

Bluebeam, a Nemetschek company, provided the PDF workflow tool that helped University of Phoenix professor Gary Solomon tackle a time‑consuming grading process. Grading student Word submissions in MS Office required typing repetitive comments and took about 20 minutes per assignment, so Gary needed a faster way to deliver consistent, constructive feedback.

By adopting Bluebeam Revu Standard and its Tool Chest, batch MS Office conversion, reusable markup sets, and annotation tools (including rubric JPEGs and multi‑leader callouts), Gary streamlined his workflow and reduced grading time to 8 minutes per paper—a 60% savings. The faster, clearer feedback improved student satisfaction and eliminated grade disputes.
