Moodle Grading App

Summer 2021 - Fall 2021

  • Vision

    Grading is a time-consuming and redundant task, and some common complaints of Moodle’s user interface are that it is clunky, slow, and frustrating. When someone wants to grade an assignment, you can enter the feedback there or pull down a CSV file, modify it and reupload. One consistent issue is redundancy, meaning similar feedback often applies to multiple students. Another issue is the difficulty graders have in modifying the table efficiently. If a grader wanted to change something globally, it would require fixing each individual entry tediously. We believe our application is crucial since it minimizes administration time and permits graders to allocate more time elsewhere.

    With our application, we plan to make the process quick and painless. Often students make the same error, and without our app, it is tedious for a grader to modify feedback should they change their mind. We expect our application to save graders and professors time through features that allow for efficient operation and minimize busywork wherever possible. We believe our application enables professors and graders to maximize what they enjoy without the needless hassle of the current grading software.
