To be used in tandem with the Doctopus Add-on for Google Sheets, the Goobric web app enables flexible, efficient rubric-based grading of Google Drive resources (Documents, Presentations, Spreadsheets, Folders, etc.) Doctopus is a popular assignment distribution and management tool available from any Google Sheet from the Add-ons menu->just search the Add-ons store for "Doctopus."

The Goobric web app provides teachers a handy assessment toolbar -- in the same browser tab as the Google Drive assignment being evaluated! -- that includes a clickable scoring tool tied to any grid-style rubric, comments, and audio-comments recording. Submitted scores can be auto-emailed to students, pasted into the bottom of a Google Document, and are automatically transferred to the Google Sheet that holds your assignment roster. Includes "Back" and "Next" buttons that allow teachers to efficiently advance through a batch of student assignments, all without leaving the same browser tab.

Rubrics should be built as a simple spreadsheet grid. They can be of any dimension or content. Headers can be integer scores (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, ... or ...4,3,2,1) -OR- text descriptors (e.g. Developing, Meets, Exceeds) starting in column 2 and skills/competencies must be in rows, with skill titles in column 1.

I have been using this extension for almost 10 years. I have marked all assignments in all courses I have taught in those 10 years. Is there any way you can update and follow best practices for Chrome extensions? Compared to all the extensions that follow best practices but *don't work*, this extension *workes great* and deserves to be updated and kept alive. Thanks so much!

Truly love this extension and how it helps me leave feedback and rubric scores for student writing in Drive. It is incredible and amazing for general workflow. Am disappointed that it's not letting me use it anymore because there's a note that says "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." - would love for an update to fix any problem that prevents use.
