AutoGrade
AutoGrade is a quiz report plugin that enables manual grading of Essay questions through Moodle's AI subsystem.
The plugin uses the built-in Essay question type. It identifies essay responses that still need grading, sends student answers to an AI provider, which returns a grade and a comment. Only questions with grading information are considered. Teachers can of course review the AI-generated grades and comments and adapt if necessary, e.g., through the built-in "Manual grading" feature.
