Summary

Grading workflows in Canvas LMS are often fragmented, requiring instructors to navigate multiple screens to build rubrics, score submissions and manage rosters. This project addresses that challenge by developing Palette, a companion tool that unifies the assessment process in a single interface. The platform includes an interactive rubric builder, bi-directional Canvas integration and a split-panel grading view. The goal is to streamline grading tasks and enable instructors and teaching assistants to focus on providing clear, consistent feedback.
