Smart Grade AI

Smart Grade AI is a powerful Moodle plugin that integrates state-of-the-art AI models (Gemini, GPT-4, Claude 3.5, etc.) directly into your assignment grading workflow. Using a seamless “Human-in-the-Loop” architecture, the plugin uses your custom rubrics to generate comprehensive draft grades and feedback. Teachers can efficiently review, amend, and approve these drafts before they hit the final Gradebook. It also features an optional “Check AI Feedback” button, allowing students to receive formative, rubric-aligned feedback before their final submission deadline. Built with high flexibility, it natively supports low-code workflow integration via n8n.
