Build my own grading LMS on top of Google Classroom

A teacher built his own LMS layer on top of Google Classroom using AI and Apps Script (he names the AI and the AI as both able to drive it): far deeper grading features than Classroom offers, a quick-select comment bank where any feedback he writes can be saved for reuse with one click, and on return each student automatically gets a formatted read-only feedback document both emailed to them and attached to the Classroom assignment. Student data never leaves the district's Google ecosystem.

How it works

  1. Build the LMS layer with AI-written Apps Script inside the district Google account
  2. Grade with advanced features
  3. Save any written feedback to the comment bank with one click for reuse
  4. On return, generate a formatted read-only feedback doc per student
  5. Email it to the student and attach it to the Classroom assignment

Why it’s worth knowing

Every comment he writes can become a reusable bank entry with one click - the grading tool literally gets faster the more he uses it.
