AB  - This lessons learned paper describes the development and deployment of software tools designed to facilitate grading, assessment, and research efforts by interfacing the standard learning management system (LMS) used by our university with spreadsheet-based systems developed in-house. Faculty in instruction-focused roles are charged with providing the high quality, timely feedback that enables student success. They may also need to capture student performance for internal and external assessment purposes or pursue their own educational research. Each of these efforts carries significant overhead in terms of time and energy. 

In our university, the official LMS, Canvas, currently has limitations both in its ability to extract assessment metrics and to modify rubric criteria and format during grading. What was needed was a grading tool that included rubric lines that could be designated for either students or internal review, allowed for rapid display and analysis of rubric metrics, and automatically linked with our LMS. 

After separate efforts to develop tools for their particular needs, three faculty members discussed their needs and wants for these tools and worked with two graduate teaching assistants to create generalized and flexible tools that all faculty in the department could employ. These tools were mostly spreadsheet based and coding was done with Google Apps Script. In the two semesters since sharing the generalized versions, the tools have been adopted by several faculty and have successfully supported grading, course administration, assessment, and research efforts.
