Feedback Assistant

A Chrome extension that helps teachers and assessors use Google Sheets comment banks to insert pre-written feedback more quickly.

Insert pre-written feedback instantly into Google Docs, Sheets and Slides comment boxes using simple abbreviations. Type a short code like “sp” or “tick” and it automatically expands into your full feedback, with no copying, no switching tabs and no interruptions. Or open the side panel and click to insert comments directly into the comment box with no typing, so you don’t need to remember every abbreviation. WHY USE FEEDBACK ASSISTANT? ⚡ Instantly expand abbreviations into full feedback 🖱️ Click to insert comments from the side panel without memorising abbreviations 📂 Organise feedback by subject, unit or assignment 📁 Use multiple sheets and tabs to manage different units and assessments 🎯 Create personalised, criteria-linked feedback more efficiently ⏱️ Save hours of repetitive typing when marking HOW IT WORKS Your feedback is powered by a custom comment bank in Google Sheets. Create multiple comment bank spreadsheets for different subjects, units or assignments, and organise each one using tabs. All of your comment banks are accessible from the side panel, so you can quickly switch between them while marking. Create and organise your comments using spreadsheets and tabs, then sync them into the extension. This allows you to personalise comments and link them directly to assessment criteria, helping you focus on more meaningful feedback rather than repetitive typing. Your feedback is always ready whether you're marking a quick task or a full assignment. The extension creates and manages its own comment bank files in your Google Drive and only accesses those app-created sheets. It cannot access or interact with any other files in your Google Drive.
