WeBWorKMAX

Safer collaborative grading tools for WeBWorK Manual Grader pages.

WeBWorKMAX is a browser extension designed to make grading on WeBWorK Manual Grader pages safer and more convenient. It adds local autosave, protects against accidentally losing unfinished grading work, and clearly highlights changes that have not yet been submitted. For instructors and teaching assistants grading the same assignments, WeBWorKMAX can optionally provide a shared backup grade history. It identifies students privately using locally generated hashes rather than sending names or email addresses, records grader attribution, and warns when the shared backup grade differs from the value currently displayed by WeBWorK. The extension never prevents normal WeBWorK grading when the optional backup service is unavailable. Native WeBWorK values remain authoritative, while WebWorKMAX provides additional warnings and safeguards around them. It supports Manual Grader pages on the Charlotte WeBWorK installations at webwork2.charlotte.edu and webwork3.charlotte.edu.
