Helping researchers understand student outcomes

Scholopsis users can opt in to include their grades, fully anonymized, in a research dataset used to study things like academic performance trends and the effect of grade transparency on student outcomes. Participation is completely optional and entirely separate from sharing your grades with a parent or organization — that part of Scholopsis works the same either way.

What's included

• Course grades and assignment scores — never your name, email, or student ID
• Your school's email domain (e.g. "wichita.edu") — used to compare trends across schools, not to identify you
• A one-way cryptographic hash of your account instead of your actual account ID, so even Scholopsis can't reverse it back to you

What it could be used for

• Academic research on grade trends, course difficulty, and learning outcomes
• Aggregate, anonymized reporting — for example, "students who share grades with a parent see X% fewer late assignments" — never reporting on any individual
• Improving Scholopsis's own product decisions, like which platforms or features to prioritize

What's never included

• Your name, email address, or any direct identifier
• Sold or shared with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party outside of academic research use
• Used to determine your creditworthiness or eligibility for anything

You decide whether to participate when you sign up, and you can turn it on or off anytime from Settings — it never affects your ability to share grades with parents or an organization.
