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 using comment bank abbreviations in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. A Chrome extension that helps teachers and assessors speed up marking using Google Sheets comment banks. Type short abbreviations directly into a comment box and they automatically expand into full feedback. For example, type “sp” or “tick” and it will instantly convert into your full pre-written comment, with no copying, no switching tabs and no interruptions to your workflow. Or use the side panel to click and insert comments directly into the comment box without typing. Behind the scenes, Feedback Assistant is powered by your own custom comment bank built in Google Sheets. You can organise your feedback by subject, unit or assignment using spreadsheets and tabs created within the extension. Feedback Assistant creates and manages its own comment bank spreadsheets within your Google Drive and only accesses those app-created files.
