Feedback tool for educators

The feedback tool built for university educators

Give richer, faster, more consistent student feedback - with a reusable comment bank, AI assistance, team sharing, and analytics. Works alongside any LMS.

The challenge of giving feedback at scale

University educators grade hundreds of submissions per semester - often with teams of tutors marking in parallel. Giving each student genuinely useful, consistent feedback is time-consuming and difficult to coordinate.

Without a dedicated feedback tool, most marking teams fall back on copy-pasting from a Word document, copying last semester's comments, or each tutor inventing their own phrasing. The result is inconsistent feedback quality, frustrated moderators, and markers spending too much time re-typing rather than thinking.

The Marking App solves this with a feedback tool designed specifically for the university marking workflow - covering individual productivity, team alignment, and ongoing quality improvement.

A feedback tool that grows with your teaching team

Every feature in The Marking App is designed around how educators actually work.

Save reusable feedback

Write your best feedback once and reuse it across every student. Stop re-typing the same corrections and spend your time where it counts.

Align your marking team

Share your feedback library with co-markers and tutors so every student gets the same quality of response - regardless of who grades their work.

AI-powered suggestions

Our AI reviews your saved feedback and suggests clearer, more constructive wording - helping you write better feedback faster.

Understand student needs

Analytics show which feedback is given most often, revealing patterns in student work across assignments and cohorts.

Works with any LMS

The browser extension lets you insert feedback directly into Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Turnitin, and any other marking tool.

AI-assisted feedback improvement

The Marking App's AI feature reviews the feedback in your library and suggests improvements - flagging vague language, recommending more actionable phrasing, and helping you turn decent feedback into genuinely useful guidance for students.

You stay in control. The AI suggests; you decide. Over time your comment library gets sharper, your feedback gets better, and your students benefit.

Analytics to understand your students' needs

The Marking App tracks which feedback comments are used most frequently across your assignments and cohorts. This reveals patterns in student work - recurring misconceptions, common errors, topics where students consistently struggle.

Course coordinators can use this data to adjust teaching before the next cohort, target tutorials at the most common mistakes, and measure whether interventions are reducing the frequency of common errors over time.

Frequently asked questions

What is a feedback tool for educators?

A feedback tool for educators is software that helps teachers and university markers give higher-quality, more consistent student feedback at scale. Features typically include reusable comment libraries, team sharing, and analytics on which feedback is used most.

How does The Marking App help educators give better feedback?

The Marking App lets educators build a library of reusable feedback comments organised by assignment type or rubric criterion. When marking, you insert saved feedback in seconds rather than writing from scratch. AI assistance refines your saved comments over time, and analytics surface recurring student issues.

Can a whole teaching team share the same feedback library?

Yes. Group and Department plans give every marker on your team access to the same shared feedback library. New tutors onboard faster because they start with the team's best feedback from day one.

Does this tool replace my LMS grading tools?

No - it complements them. The Marking App sits alongside Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and other LMS platforms. The browser extension lets you insert saved feedback directly into any marking interface without leaving your LMS.

Is there a free plan for individual teachers?

Yes. Individual educators can start a free account with unlimited personal feedback comments and no time limit. Team sharing and AI assistance are available on paid plans.

How is The Marking App different from pasting text from a document?

Unlike a Word document or spreadsheet, The Marking App gives you a searchable, organised library - with variants for similar feedback, placeholders for student-specific details, AI-assisted improvement, team sync, and analytics on which feedback is most used.
