Suppose your school uses an LMS that doesn’t directly integrate with CoGrader, such as Moodle, ANGEL, Microsoft Teams, or Formative. In that case, you can still use CoGrader to grade and provide personalized feedback to your students.
This article walks you through how to move submissions between your LMS and CoGrader, grade them, and return feedback to students.
Step 1: Export Student Submissions from Your LMS
Moodle
Open the assignment you want to grade.
Go to View all submissions.
Select Download all submissions to get a ZIP file.
Extract the ZIP file. You’ll now have one file per student, usually named by their username or full name.
ANGEL
Open your course and navigate to the Dropbox tool.
Select the correct Dropbox folder.
Choose Download All to export all student submissions.
Extract the ZIP file.
Microsoft Teams
Open Assignments in your Team.
Click the assignment you want to collect.
Go to Student work and select Return details > Download all student work (if available).
If this option isn’t available, open each student’s work and save it as a PDF.
Make sure each file is labeled with the student’s name.
Formative
Open the assignment in Formative.
Click View Responses.
Use the Export to PDF or Export to CSV option.
If you export as CSV, CoGrader can process it directly.
Step 2: Upload Submissions to CoGrader
Log in to your CoGrader account.
Create a new class or select an existing one.
Upload Submissions and add your exported files (PDF, DOCX, or CSV).
Step 3: Grade and Review in CoGrader
Once your files are uploaded:
CoGrader automatically analyzes the submissions using your selected rubric.
Review each student’s feedback and score.
Adjust feedback if needed:
When finished, export the results to share back through your LMS.
Step 4: Return Feedback to Your LMS
Moodle
Export the feedback from CoGrader as a PDF.
In Moodle, open the assignment and select Grade.
Upload the feedback PDF in the Feedback files section for each student.
You can also upload feedback in bulk if your Moodle version supports it..
ANGEL
Export feedback from CoGrader as PDFs.
Attach each student’s PDF to their dropbox folder as a feedback file.
Enter grades directly in ANGEL’s gradebook if desired.
Microsoft Teams
Export feedback as individual PDFs.
Open the Assignments tab and select the student’s submission.
Under Feedback, click Add work and upload the feedback PDF.
You can also paste the feedback text directly into the comments box.
Formative
Export feedback from CoGrader as a PDF or CSV.
In Formative, open each student’s response and attach the feedback PDF using the Upload File button.
Alternatively, copy and paste the written feedback into Formative’s feedback comment box.
